Egyptian Themed Shirt

I made McCalls 6613 with some of the Egyptian themed material I bought at the thrift store.  I think it turned out nice.  I wanted to try a new pattern, but fell into making one I knew.  I made the small size, but lengthened it four inches.  I added two inches to the short-sleeves.  This pattern for some reason has very-short sleeves otherwise.

I usually line up the prints of the pocket and the shirt.  This time I did not.  The print is so busy, I don't think you can tell there is a pocket, without a close look.

I wore this shirt to an Art-Trek this weekend, and many people commented on it.  I felt like part of the art show.  LOL

I wasn't sure what I was going to make next, but while at the thrift store today I found another huge yardage of Cabernet-red material.  It probably has a little polyester in it, not enough to stretch, but it has the feel and a little shine.  This find made me decide to make some boxer shorts.  I don't wear them too much, but Joe likes them.  I think I will make a pair for him and one for me.    Plus, I am sure I will have enough left to make a few shirts.

Interesting Looking Material.  Almost Alligator Print.

Backside Looks Great Also.

Now all I have to decide is what patterns I want to use.

Thanks for stopping.
