Nathanael will
match Levi Thursday at our Fourth-of-July church picnic, though
Nathanael's yokes and collar are red, while Levi's are blue.
Nathanael is 7.
I do not like
this style of a shirt pattern, with no collar band, and only a facing in
front, as opposed to a separate placket. It is so much better
tailored -- to say nothing of easier to sew -- with a band and plackets,
as Levi's shirt has. Why do pattern designers think we like
facings that turn wrong side out when we wash our clothes -- or stick
out whilst we're a-wearing them?? Well, we don't. So I
topstitched the facings down. Perhaps you can spot the stitching
line in the third photo below.
