Halloween shirt! 🎃

My husband always wanted a cool Halloween shirt, but he had very specific requirements so this fabric took a lot of finding.

This was the second shirt I've sewn, and first one where the pattern matching on the pocket actually worked! A year later and I'm still very proud of myself.

Pattern is the short-sleeve version of McCalls 6044, and the fabric was from Spoonflower.

(for the record, he was asked to "just stand normally")

Spooky Halloween shirt complete!

Husband has always fancied a proper cool Halloween shirt, so I picked this fabric in secret and banned him from the sewing room until it was complete.

I could only afford the absolute bare minimum yardage, and didn't have much control over pattern placement (also no room for cutting errors, eek!)

But it all worked out and as of tonight he's seen it and tried it on and appears to love it. All good!

I will get proper posed photos at some point but for now here it is on my decidedly more curvy dress form!

Main annoyance is that my topstitching is a bit wonky, and I'm normally pretty good at topstitching. Oh well.
