We have had some wet summer so far so maybe this bright shirt will perk things up. If nothing else, they will see him coming on the bike path.
I used my old tried and true pattern - McCall's 8409. It makes a roomy short sleeved casual shirt and he likes it.
This time, I modified the front bands. The pattern calls for the buttonhole (left) side to be a true band and the other side (the right or button side) was just folded over. I decided to make both sides true bands and I like the difference. It's sturdier and looks more professional.
As usual, I put the sleeve on first, before I did the underarm seam.
This allows the flat fell finish to be even easier around the shoulder.
Then I finished it up in a trice! What next, I wonder?

Well, you never have to worry about him being seduced by hot young things
Hoo, you ARE funny! It's not the shirt that is keeping those young things away, believe me. :) Why do you think he likes the capacious shirts? Every year, he says he will lose some weight and sometimes he succeeds. But losing weight means stopping drinking and I don't think he is fond of that idea. But you never know. One year he biked to the Maritimes from here and lost 50 pounds on the way. Maybe I should send him off on the bike for a few weeks. Hmm.
