Hawaiian Classics Shirt in Green

Table of Contents

I found a really cool green and white stripped seersucker fabric and had to dosomething with it. So I made another shirt using the Hawaiian Classics pattern. I’m really happy with how it turned out. I’m getting the hang ofcollars finally.

I also went back and fixed the hems on the first Hawaiian shirt, and now both are very wearable.

This learning to sew stuff is fun. Making a shirt is very much an engineering project. It’s turning into a great way to spend my spare time.

Enjoy!

Boat Renovations

Since purchasing the boat, I’ve been focusing on internal renovations and minor updates.

The first big change was getting the v-berth updated. I took out a couple of small shelves, refinished the drawers, and made a key board and mounting rails. The biggest job was making the cushions.

The next big project was ripping out the cabinets on the starboard side of the main cabin and creating a pilot berth.

Basket Weave Beanie

I just added my first pattern to Ravelry. The pattern is for a great little beanie using the Basket Weave pattern.

Enjoy!

German Clustered Cable

Another Crazy Quilt swatch from Barbara Walker’s, A Treasury of Knitting Patterns Vol 1, page 274, the German Clustered Cable. Barbara describes the pattern as, “a simple German pattern consisting of knit-purl checks, with a single cable cross worked into each knit check.”

The finished result is delightful! It has texture and interest with wavy cables running over a sea of purl checks. My first thought was how fun this would be as a filler stitch on a sweater.
