It's #FOFriday and I wanted to rather belatedly share this ridiculous Christmas shirt that I made for @davetansley!

The pattern is McCalls #m6044, the pattern is random cotton from eBay with a pattern of Christmassy dogs, and the shirt itself is...passable as an actual shirt! 🥳

A lot of lessons were learned in the process but it was genuinely fun, and I'll definitely be back to make more.

McCall's pattern 2130. Illustration is from 1922, found in The Owensboro Messenger.

The catalogue is McCall's, September 1921. With the illustration we get both front and back views of this dress, which I love!

Been sorting out the pattern pieces for my terrifying upcoming shirt project and I've started as I mean to go on by using this rather festive gold star tissue paper to trace it out! It is going to be a Christmas shirt, after all.

Planning to follow advice and make a muslin first, but somehow nail it on the first try and move onto the real thing with extra confidence.

Yeah, that sounds likely...
