Patterns Discussion / Pattern for a Hawaiian type shirt
« on: October 11, 2023, 22:53:26 PM »
I’m looking for a pattern for a simple Hawaiian type shirt for my SIL.

He is a horror film buff and I have found some hideous fabric with various horror film characters on it, which he will love..

I’m thinking short sleeves, attached collar without a collar stand and no button band so I have a chance of pattern matching.

I’m not a fan of the big four and would prefer a PDF but have very little experience of men’s pattern for wovens.

Such restraint @sewmuchmore , I bet you needed a lie down in a darkened room once you got home.

@Ploshkin  I’ve been an Itch to Stitch fan for ages but never noticed the Bainbridge, it looks very useful. I may have to order it despite supposedly being on a pattern fast, heigh ho!

I often iron leather, I use gentle steam, think pressing cloth and a silicon iron shoe.

Can you try on the bit you cut off?

I had a massive fail when I tried to use decovil light on some lightweight leather but I would think something thinner would be ok.

@Tamnymore , I never knew it was herring boxes.

@marylou I’m 70 and have just ordered the pattern!

I have the same type as Diane, 2 A0s in pink and purple. I have had them about 5 years now and they are fine.

@Sheilago you’ve given me an idea. I spilt bleach on a linen top. A few little flowers needed I think.

Ooh that is gorgeous,  I wish I had the tenacity to complete something like that.

Thanks @Mr Twingo , I must admit I thought of something completely different when I saw the Duke of York experience!
