Sorry for my lack of garment posts of late… I appear to have been sucked into a herbaceous night garden!
Here is a sneak preview of Mr Ooobop’s new shirt. I feel naughty for not waiting ’til it’s finished but there is an issue of buttons and therefore, buttonholes. Mr Ooobop! is very particular about his buttons and ‘these things take time’ apparently. Well, not as long as this blooming shirt I hope!
Any hows, will fill you in with the details and hope to present you with a modelled shirt image real soon. What delights were laid upon your sewing table this weekend?
OOOOHHH! I am so loving that fabric!!!! Mr Oobop is soooo spolit. He has a lady of excellent taste and patience! xo
I have to say that the choice of fabric was all Mr Ooobop’s doing! I merely chose the accenting red! But you are absolutely right… he is soooo spoilt! x
very very impressive!
Thanks Liora 🙂
A Western yoke AND piping — I’m impressed!
Western yoke but no piping I’m afraid. Collar and inside collar stand is underlined in red. Though you will certainly have given Mr Ooobop! new ideas now! Thanks Peter! 🙂
Looks gorgeous! I love the fabric – clever man, and the yoke, clever lady!
Thank you Tialys. Hopefully it will be completed soon and M.O. will model it for us! 🙂
You must really love him. To sew for someone else?? Unheard of around my sewing kingdom. Nice work.
I think I must love him loads! I think it has taken the longest of any of my projects! Thank you for popping by 🙂
I really like that red on the collar!
Thanks MarrieB. I needed to break up those flowers a bit! 🙂
Wow, that is looking very very cool, my dear! I bet Mr. Oobop is taking his time choosing buttons cause not just any old button deserves to be a part of that shirt!! Well done! 😀
Really cool fabric, and I love the contrast red on the collar. On my sewing table this weekend was a lot of paper, still drafting a pattern for a jacket and a blouse.
Very cool!
Such a fantastic fabric! Lucky Mr. Ooobop! I have yet to make Mr. CoutureAcademic a shirt…but you’ve inspired me to put it on this list…the very very long list 😛
Ooops! sorry Kat! just when your list was looking pretty long! Buttons have been chosen and sewn on. Just waiting for the photos! 🙂
