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.

That's fucking sick.

People who can make their own clothes are wizards to me. Kudos, Belgarath.

Unexpected reference! Thanks for taking me back in time :)

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

[–] Cipher 8 points 1 year ago

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.

This is better than my fifth anything. Really cool, thanks for sharing.

Ooo, that’s a nice fabric! I’m a sucker for seersucker. ;)

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.

very handsome shirt, friend.

[–] obi_one@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 year ago

Nice. It’s my kind of daily wear.

[–] Bozicus@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

You say you already have cheap fabric? Then there's nothing to lose

You will gain the experience of the attempt regardless of how it turns out. I hope you try and surprise yourself

This looks so tidy. Great work!

[–] marin 4 points 1 year ago

I’d wear that! Looks amazing!!

[–] Pixelologist 3 points 1 year ago

Wow great job! Wouldn't have known it was homemade

[–] tookmyname@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

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

[–] Chuck-Shepherd505@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

It looks very decent, something I would buy.

[–] saltuarium 2 points 1 year ago
