Readers, my internet service is back AND my shirt is done! You can view me modeling it here.

Let me be the first to say it: this print is garish. It's not my usual style. Yet I'm drawn to it nevertheless. I don't know why.
(Male + pattern + boldness?)
I think a classic gingham or solid shirt in a soft color is more flattering on me -- maybe it's my age or my coloring or some undefinable something. Yet I love my wool challis shirt and I do think the dusty pinks and beiges complement my complexion. Perhaps it's best worn with a cardigan or something to balance the bold print. If you have styling ideas (please don't say hooded rain poncho), please let me know!
Meanwhile, I have rekindled my love for my Singer 66 treadle. Expect more videos of us in the near future: topstitching, maybe ruffling, or just wandering together through a field of wildflowers...
Have a great day, everybody!
