A light blue vintage cotton shirt



Recently my partner and I visited a large barrack in the north of Amsterdam, where they sell second hand furniture and other objects from former times, collected in the Eastern European countryside.

We wanted to renew our garden seat with some stuff from the past...


We found what we were looking for, and surprise, there also was a supply of fabrics on roll for sale.

So we came home with a vintage garden table, vintage garden chairs and a roll of light blue vintage cotton, that was lost among all furniture.


The fabric has inwoven stripes, as can be seen on the first picture, which also shows one of the sleeves  under construction, the sleeve split just having been fixed.


Indeed, this fabric was rather suitable to transform into a shirt.

Once more I used the pattern with which I am familiar (for example as in this post), but I thought that for a change it would be fine to fit the collar with somewhat smaller ends.....


That wasn't figured wrong.

As we all know, it is not so easy to vary with men's clothing. It comes to small changes.



And occasionaly a different colored wristband is also quite something....
