Incredible heat calls for incredible seersucker.

This is my first time working with the fabric, but it came together into one of my best shirts yet. This thing looks (at a glance) like it came off a store rack, and I couldn’t be more proud of that fact.

    As someone who doesn’t know the much about sewing clothes, I wouldn’t have known it was handmade. I like it! Very smart casual.

    Nice, that looks professionally done! Out of curiosity, where did you get the pattern for it?

      Thanks! The pattern is “Jensen Shirt” from Wardrobe By Me

      It’s a fantastic pattern, and does a great job (imo) of illustrating collar construction.

    I would buy the hell out of that shirt if it was in my size! You did a fantastic job. I can’t wait to see what you make next.

    Wow looks amazing. I’m all about the cooking fabrics. Been grabbing some ramie fabrics lately for this reason.

    It really does look store bought, but in a good way! (A lot of store bought shirts are lopsided and have loose threads, and yours looks super precise and crisp).

    I have two shirt patterns and some inexpensive fabric to test them on, but I’ve been too chicken to try, lol. Partly I just haven’t gotten started with my machine yet, and a shirt is too much to hand sew, but I’m also intimidated by trying to get the fit right, and by making an outer garment. But when I do make one, I want it to look like yours.
