\"Cal<\/a>
Cal Shirt Start<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I started another shirt. The last one I made was the California shirt<\/a> I entered into the San Mateo County Fair<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like many of my quilts, I think these shirts are part of a series. The California shirt from last year is the best yet. The judges weren’t 100% happy with my entry and they were correct. I needed to finish the seams. This failure has been on my mind. A series of events made me decide to make DH a Cal shirt. He says he has enough button down casual type shirts, but he is getting this one anyway.<\/p>\n

I had some Cal fabric that I used for various things, but I bought some more at PIQF<\/a>. It turned out that when I cut out the shirt on Monday, I had enough from my previous purchase to cut the pieces.<\/p>\n

I also decided that I would use some dark blue solid on the shirt so that motifs would stand out. I didn’t want the overall effect to be too chaotic.<\/p>\n

The cutting went really well. I modified the pattern last time and that took a lot of time. I didn’t have to do that this time, so I was able to cut out the shirt and fuse interfacing to the front of the shirt all during Craft Night. I still need to fuse some ShapeFlex to the pocket to keep it from being floopy.<\/p>\n
