Tim's Two Piece Setacular
Tim had a boys trip to the beach last month, so I made him a ridiculous two-piece set for beach bumming, and then made him take photos of it in the snow.

McCall's 6044: The '90s Shirt
It's been a while since I've sewn Tim a new shirt, and a lot of his fun summer shirts were looking a little faded... enter the funnest of fun shirts.

Herringbone Flannel McCall's 6044
This is maybe the 100th time I've made this pattern, but it can feel new and fun depending on the details!

Tim has become increasingly jealous of the linen wardrobe I've been cultivating of late...

McCall's 6044 Strikes Again
My TNT shirt pattern for Tim strikes again!
I batch-sewed Tim two versions of McCall's 6044 for his recent birthday... did I make him two versions of this shirt last year at this time, also for his birthday? Yes. Am I ashamed? Nope!
Such a good pattern... no fit changes from my previous versions. Both versions are short sleeves, no yoke, two front pockets.
The first, modeled on our recent weekend trip to Brooklyn, is made from a super silky tropical palm print cotton voile that I bought in Bangkok at Hieng Yoo Huat. I think it's originally from Japan.
I was hording the palm print for myself, but then Tim expressed an interest. At first I said no, because I am mean. But then I realized I could eke a shirt for Tim and still get a tank for myself with the yardage I had. A shirt for Tim it was!
For this casual shirt, I finally tried out some of the Snap Source pearl snaps I've had since my birthday. I don't know why I haven't tried them yet. So easy to install! So much fun!
The second shirt is made from a gorgeous piece naturally-dyed cotton batik I bought at a holiday fair when I lived in Indonesia. It's probably been marinating in my stash for 5-6 years now.
Really gorgeous detail on this hand-stamped piece...
This one seemed more appropriate with buttons, so I stuck with those.
Tim loves both shirts! Thanks, trusty McCall's 6044.

Dude Sewing: Corduroy McCall's 6044 with Red Accents
This shirt I made for Tim's birthday has taken a few twists and turns throughout the sewing process! It definitely followed the highs and lows of the creative process, as seen in that meme that was passed around the sewing interwebs a while back...

Plaid McCall's 6044: Now with Sleeve and Yoke Mods!
My husband was green in the face over the classic plaid shirt I made for myself. If it weren't for the oversized buttons and bust darts, I think he might have tried to steal the shirt for himself.

Batik McCall's 6044
You know your sewing obsession is infecting others around you when your husband comes back from a business trip with a piece of fabric and says "So... I saw this fabric and thought you might be able to make me a shirt from it?"
