My Husbands new shirt made from the Sure fit shirt kit. He has a rounded back so had to put a seam in the back to allow for this

Lovely job Stitches! Never done a man's shirt before - my OH is fond of 'lables' >< ;)

Nicely done, it's good to have a pattern that you know you can go to.
The only 'label' my DH will buy is George from Asda so I took it upon myself to make him a shirt last year - even he commented that the fabric felt lovely to wear. So, I've got a couple more lengths of fabric to make some more as I rather like shirtmaking.
I've found Croft Mill good for Italian shirting fabric.

I find shirts very satisfying to make too, although I've only ever made boys' sizes. The collars and cuffs are even more fiddly in the very small sizes. :S Great fun though.

Lovely shirt Stitches.
I've found Fabworks very good for shirting, I've made several for DH and when 100% cotton for £4 a metre is available the price per shirt compared very favourably to ready made.

Excellent job on the shirt. I haven't sewn much for men but they sure are a lot easier to fit.

Very nice job. I've made my husband 4 shirts, the last one was almost perfect and he's worn it loads

Shirtmaking can be so satisfying.
Will you make some more?

Many thanks for all your comments.Morgan yes I will be making him some more
