Lumberjack shirt

lumberjack shirt (9 of 1)Eeek! I made a lumberjack shirt for Des! I’ve been wanting to make some sort of button down shirt, but it always seemed too intimidating.  Well… thanks to lots of help from my mother-in-law, it wasn’t so intimidating after all!  It was so much fun, and I can’t wait to make another one.  I see a cute chambray shirt in his future!

lumberjack shirt (7 of 1)We started with Simplicity pattern 7994 as a base for the shirt, but altered it to make it fit Desmond better.  The smallest size in the pattern was still too big for him.  Then, we added my favorite detail- a cute little squirrel!  The embroidery design is available from my mother-in-law’s site at A Bit of Stitch.
