Polo shirt from BWOF 05/2005. It is an oldy but goody. I can't believe that only one other person has made this and posted a review at PatternReview.com. Maybe I'm completely off the mark but I think it is cute. This isn't my best as far as sewing goes. The placket is a little off center and the facings are off. Next time when I know exactly what I am doing, I'll do a nicer job. They use a front facing on this but not a back facing. If you look to the right, you'll see my favorite sewing tutorials. A polo placket is one of them but I wanted to try it their way. I'll do it my way next time. No facings and I like how it turns out. The placket is just a bit thinner than this one.
I made sure that the circles didn't give me bull's eyes. It was kind of hard actually. This fabric has a lot of circles on it.
You can see the back here with no facing. You aren't supposed to stitch the bottom of the placket in a box shape like I did but I like the look of it and it keeps it closed a little bit more.
The inside. I didn't finish the facing edges. This is thin knit and I didn't want a ridge on the outside to show.
The new shoes my husband bought me for my birthday. Here's
