The Road to a #MeMade Wardrobe: Simplicity 8427
My hubby requested that I make more things for him because I’ve been making myself all kinds of fly shit. So I came through and made him a bunch of stuff during Sewvember. And since I’ve been trying to alternate, two for me, one for you. So I made him a super cute button up in Ankara Print that he loves.
Pattern: Simplicity Pattern 8427 Men's Fitted Shirt with Collar and Cuff Variations by Mimi G
Fabric: Ankara Print BSP2209 from AKN Fabrics
Style: Crop Button Up Shirt
Vintage/Contemporary: Contemporary
Pattern Edits:
1. I initially didn’t add a button at the neck because hubby wanted to wear it more casually. But after we did our final fitting, he felt like he’d love to wear it both casually and formally, so I added the button back in.
Lessons Learned:
1. I think that I did a great job in sizing since my hubby has a nice broad back and was able to slim it down for his small waist. Popeye! You’re my HEE-ROOO!
