My Bald Man's new shirt is Kwik Sew 2561. And he loves it!!! This was so easy to sew! My review from PR is below...... Pattern Description: From the pattern:The Men's pull-over shirt has raglan sleeves. The View A short sleeve shirt has a patch pocket and a V-neckline with a self fabric neckband. The View B short sleeve shirt has a neckband and sleeve bands from ribbing. View A and B have sleeves from a contrast fabric. The View C long sleeve shirt has a neckband and cuffs from ribbing.
Pattern Sizing: I made him an XXL
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?Yes. I made View A
Were the instructions easy to follow?Super easy!
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?Nothing at all to dislike
Fabric Used: Jersey and velvet
Pattern Alterations or any design changes you made:I left off the pocket and put an embroidery cross design in place of it.I also put a design on the sleeve
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?yes and yes!
Conclusion: A super easy shirt for that special man in your life! Easy to customize also! My DH loved this shirt and he'll be getting more for his 2009 wardrobe! Nothing like showing DH how I put my machines to use.. so he doesn't complain when I ask for 'another one'!
Here are some closer pics of the embroidery. I downloaded it for Embroidery Library... love that site!
It was supposed to be longer but I usually like cropped jackets and wear them alot so I kept it short.
Here's a closer look!!!! ..... you'll have to excuse my enthusiasm... as I'm still in shock I can crochet...
And a little necklace I made. My jewelry wardrobe is in need of some new things and I love cross necklaces!!! And though I do not like stringing beads I kinda like working with chains and charms...

My Crochet Jacket!!! The pattern is from Crochet! magazine, one Sheila sent me!
It was supposed to be longer but I usually like cropped jackets and wear them alot so I kept it short.
It was really easy. Its made up of 4 Lg. , 4 med and 4 small squares... crocheted together and trimmed with fun fur yarn... took me about 5 days I think... love it!!!
