Success!

Kent finished his second shirt yesterday. He made this one from better material and used the Colette Negroni pattern. He says this shirt went together more easily than the McCall's pattern, mostly because the directions are so well written. And the shirt fits beautifully.

Notice, too, how well he lined up his plaid across the front and across the collar. I didn't take a picture of the back, but his yoke matches up too. He's taking this one to Jamaica next week--NEXT WEEK! WOOHOO!

And this time he's smiling.

Must be that new presser foot! Ha! Great job, Kent. And you are looking good.

I'm smiling because it actually came together well and (almost) all of the plaids lined up where they are supposed to. And it fits really well.

Judith, thanks for the compliment. I've probably lost 25lbs since the last time you saw me. Well, that and the vertical stripes. :)

Wow! I am most impressed. Oh, and Kent - smile more often, OK? Don't worry, I still love the swingset picture of you best, though.

Oops, sorry, that was lemming...

Kent, you obviously have a real talent for this! Matching plaids can be a real pain. The shirt looks great!!

I'm making a list of my own wardrobe needs. The shirt and you both look FABulous!
