I make shirts for Russell. Many years ago, he found a frontier shirt in a western store he loved. He told me it was indestructible but it eventually began to die. I took it apart before it was in shreds to use it as a pattern.
Russell really liked these two fabrics. Both were very soft and he loved the colors.
I cut the body out of the printed fabric.
The front placket, collar, and cuffs are cut out of the dark burgundy batik print.
Let the stitching begin! I have the collar, sleeves, cuffs, hem, and buttons left. I cannot wait for Russell to try it on. We are both very excited.
