Vogue 8889 Men's Shirt Reveal or "Hello Voile-y"



Friends, I am happy to report that I finished my cotton voile shirt over the weekend.

As you can see above (and below), the fabric is delicate and slightly sheer.  It wasn't hard to work with, but I handled it very gently and used a fresh new needle in my Singer 201.



Here are some close-ups:

The completed collar, before attaching.



The collar, now attached.





Inside collar stand.



Flat-felled seams on the side panels.



Hidden button placket.





Me modeling the shirt.  The fit is good though I might have done a small sloping shoulder adjustment.  I like it a lot and I look forward to wearing it when the weather warms up.









And that's it -- onward and upward!

Have a great day, everybody!
