"Can you make me a sh*t shirt mum?" "Well actually you can make us all one if you want for our boys weekend". Here's a few of them:
McCalls 8409
McCalls 7720
McCalls 7720
McCalls 7720
I hardly do any dressmaking but the eyes aren't so good for embroidery these days so I may be doing a bit more .............. I'm rather pleased with these :)
.
I've used McCalls 8409 before ............ it comes up big, very big! However, the collar sizes are pretty normal for the pattern size ................. small is a 15" collar but the chest measurement of the shirt is 49" .......... not exactly proportionate!
The Palmer Pletsch 7720 2 hour shirt is a much better fit for the smaller sizes though I'm not keen on the lack of front band. If I were to make more I might think about drafting one. I used the two piece collar. I couldn't envisage me ever finishing one of these in two hours but I do prefer a nice finish (French seams etc.).
