Kwik Sew 2777 #8

Title: Kwik Sew 2777 #8 (?)
Fabric: Navy brushed cotton poplin from Fabric Mart
DH has been out of the country for a few days and came home saying that he had left two of his shirts behind. They were not two shirts that I liked. One was a beige, which did nothing for him, and the other was frayed at the edges. No great loss, IMO. He was delighted to discover that I had this one done, all but the buttons and buttonholes.
A long sleeved shirt takes about 3 evenings--when your DH is out of the country. When you only have the Golden Hour during Star Trek to sew, *and* you have to make dinner, it takes longer.
Now that I've done my duty by making him a shirt, I get to make myself another pair of pants! Then, I'll make his oxford shirt. I probably would have put it off a while, except for the two he left at the hotel.
I'm hoping that the guys who always have the booth of menswear fabrics will be at the Expo this year. Shirt fabrics--especially the dark and somber colors that Mr H prefers--are hard to find.
Beth: Dang! Nice shirt. You continue to impress me. I just don't know how you do all the things you do. Keep it up!

Oh, goody! We'll see you at the Expo! Or, at least I hope to see you...what days will you be there? Signed up for any classes? :D
