This is another cute and easy project from Sewing for Boys (the book). I made this for my large 3.75 year old (he is growing out of his 4T clothes these days) in a size 4/5 out of the bottom of my neighbor's curtains. Love upcycling! And love this fabric. It feels like linen but is a bit thicker. I love how neutral it is (especially since I tend to the, uh, wilder side in pant fabrics).
I liked how easy it was to make. The directions glide you right along. I only got stumped on the seam finishing in the recommended way: they guide you to an appendix then I had trouble sorting out how to do the recommended finish by following the directions in the appendix. I love the detail along the front of the shirt. I also love how all the seams are meant to be enclosed.
I did not love the fit (again- haven't had great luck so far in the book, actually). The body length and width are right, but the sleeves are a bit long. My son actually thought the whole thing was a bit big, and kept poking at the space at the open neck until we put a t-shirt under it.
All in all, like it. Will make it again. Recommend it.
