This is a new shirt that I finished yesterday. The fabric is a lightweight, soft corduroy. The pattern I used is McCall’s 6076 but I modified the collar slightly, not that you can really tell from the picture. It’s such a busy print it’s hard to see the edges of the collar or the princess seams. The sleeves are a little long, as you can see but not enough to be a problem. This picture makes it look like I made a bad choice of buttons because the yellow on the fabric, which is exactly the same color as the buttons, doesn’t show up as well. In person they look perfect.

Hey, busy prints are good for you.
Color me Duly Impressed.

Thanks. I do like busy prints, especially paisley. Also tiny traditional prints and big crazy prints and plaids… Heck, I just like fabric.

Your timing was impeccable.

How cool to be cool and not even know it.

That is cool. I wish I had known though. Sometimes I like the feeling that I’m doing the right thing at the right time. (On the other hand, sometimes I also get a kick out of being inappropriate.)
