Happy 4th

Matching blue and white striped shirts. I think the fabric was on sale for $2 a yard, and I only had about 3-4 yards. So $8 for three shirts. The smile Ben gave me for being all matchy-matchy with his boys? Priceless.

I've got girls' dresses yet to sew up.. Later. Time now to enjoy BBQ'd burgers and homemade potato salad.

Patterns:
Colette Negroni (#1014) size Med: adapted the pattern so the facing was part of the shirt front. Used size Large neckline for his comfort.
McCall's M6226 size 14: is he really that big already?
New Look 6880 size 3: wow, same question!

Happy Independence Day!!
