Cowboy Shirt So Far (PIX on #5)

[Rebbetzin]

Ok... here goes, for years my husband has asked me to make him a cowboy shirt. His bithday is Aug. 5th. I have all the stuff now to make the shirt. (I have had it for weeks actually) I am just not confident in putting on snaps and doing all the top stitching, to say nothing of having it fit him when I am finished! It is not that I can't do it, I know I can do it.

Off I go, to cut it out! He made it easy for me even, he picked a light blue Chambray, no plaids to match up, no piping or fancy stuff. For the next three days I am sewing!!

Well, needless to say it didn't get finished for his birthday. I procrastinated tooooo long...

I redesigned the pocket flap to be different than the pattern. That was not so bad, then I had to redo the pocket, and of course the pockets are the first part to be sewn.

I have it all cut out, the interfacing ironed on to the collar, cuffs and front placket wher the snaps will go. Fridays for me are just toooo busy to sew. Saturdays are spent in services most of the day. I think I will get most of it done tomorrow (Sunday) anyhow that is MY plan... As soon as I get it even partly put together I will post some photos for you to see how it is going.
