Vogue 8889 Men's Shirt Reveal or "Hello Voile-y"!

Friends, I am happy to report that I finished my cotton voile shirt over the weekend.

As you can see above (and below), the fabric is delicate and slightly sheer. It wasn't hard to work with, but I handled it very gently and used a fresh new needle in my Singer 201.

Here are some close-ups:

The completed collar, before attaching.

The collar, now attached.

Inside collar stand.

Flat-felled seams on the side panels.

Hidden button placket.

Me modeling the shirt. The fit is good though I might have done a small sloping shoulder adjustment. I like it a lot and I look forward to wearing it when the weather warms up.

And that's it -- onward and upward!

Have a great day, everybody!
