However, compared with months of may in former years, this one in 2012 is rather cold. So I am glad to have this checkered flanel shirt, which I sewed last autumn.
The fabric comes from a shop on Texel, one of the dutch isles in the Wadden Sea in the northern part of the country.
My partner and I stayed there late september last year for a short off-season holiday. It was misty, windy and cold, but we loved the ambiance and had a wonderful time.
Flanel is a fabric that is rather pleasant to wear on days hallfway through winter and spring.
Next, two pictures of the shirt on a mannequin, with and without a gilet.
For this shirt I once more used the pattern I always use when making shirts.
Oh, and although the lady who sold me the fabric told me to be careful cutting it in a double layer, this produced no specific problem at all, like sewing this soft-touch material caused no problem either..
