Wear it and be proud.  Looks great to me.  Take a photo when you’re out and send it to the kids.   :)

It's fabulous - your kids have no taste. . Mr C would wear that. Great job.

That's a great shirt - my other half likes it too, he loves paisley type patterns.

THAT is gorgeous!!!!

I would like anything in that fabric but if you feel you couldn't possibly wear it at in public ...
you could always send it Dorsetwards ....

How did you acquire such gorgeous fabric all the way from Jaipur ???

Seriously that is gorgeous and arent French seams nice ??? Tricky on the underarms I should imagine tho'.

I bought it off Amazon and it was really cheap. This company tends to sell it in lengths of 5 yards for just over £20 and it did indeed get posted free of charge all the way from Jaipur. Here is  a link:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=Indianhandicraft

Although I was pleased with the bargain it did make me think about how little  the skilled printer probably actually gets paid :(...

To be warned, the fabric is quite light but in this case was perfect for a summer shirt.

I'd like, thanks to that link, to officially welcome you to the world of fabric enablers. Too much lusciousness there to pass by!

Thank you! And as my scrap bag becomes becomes ever more full I fear you temptresses will eventually try to convert me to the DARK SIDE!
