Shirt #4 (seersucker)
So thankful my old Kenmore sewing machine remembers how to stitch seersucker fabric. It’s been decades since I’ve made anything with this type fabric. I may need to find more! I love it and it’s super easy to stitch! I love the results!
Before making this shirt, I consulted with Jacob to be certain he would actually wear a seersucker shirt and he assured me he’s been wanting another one for ages since he had one when he was a boy. He hasn’t forgotten it was his favorite.
Well, now he has another and I hope it becomes a favorite too!
This lime and white seersucker stripe shirt has a lime fishbone print detail at the inner collar, the pocket is cut to match the shirt and the yoke and collar are cut with lengthwise stripes. It was finished with pale green pearled shirt buttons.
This is the fourth shirt for Jacob in my most recent sewing binge and I have purchased fabric for several more.
We’re expecting a visit from him this weekend. Bob plans to smoke a turkey and I’ll make accompanying dishes. We’re looking SOOO forward to seeing our baby son!

Update 4/26/14: Jacob has modeled his 3 newest shirts and LOVES them. He has told me every single thing he likes about these custom-fitted shirts including room across the upper back, perfect length sleeves, slim fitting body while broad enough in the shoulders and extra length for tucking into his pants. When asked what changes he would recommend, he suggested I fill his closet with them! He’s gotten many compliments from his fellow workers when wearing the black/white shirt and proudly boasts it was made by his mother. He’s looking forward to wearing these new ones. Makes a mom/seamstress proud!
