Sorry it has been so long. Please excuse the creases, this photo was taken after I have finished work. I have finally finished my last long sleeved shirt for winter. This fabric has been in my stash for four years. I have been waiting till I had the skill to be able to cut it and make a business shirt that would do the fabric's quality and pattern justice. It is a Italian cotton with a subtle sheen on the stripes.
The cuffs of this pattern have been a problem in the last two shirts. This time I have used a cuff style taken from a quality RTW shirt. The end of the sleeve was extended by six inches and turned twice to form a cuff. The back of the sleeve is folded on it self three inches from the in side seam. A button hole is placed half an inch from the fold and the button is on the inside seam. When done up it pulls the cuff in a the wrist.
Cheers Lara
