Looks awesome bro. Once you get the sleeves situated you’ll be gold!

@Go-For-Chill great job and thanks for sharing all the details. Good luck with the sleeves.

Everyone send their shirts to go for chill for any of your needs. He will be my new delivery address straight from IH.

Great job.....

Damn I feel so validated! I have to shorten the sleeves on all my IH shirts. I need length shortened too but always nervous it will throw the proportions off. Yours looks so good, this really is a fantastic job you’ve done. There’s a sewing store/ clinic near my house and I’ve always wanted to take one of their courses. This may have pushed me over the edge. Thanks for sharing.

@Go-For-Chill I’m mightily impressed - bravo! What is the machine behind you?

[pechelman]

This is fantastic. Did you consider sewing in a piece of fabric to effectively have the pocket bags seen sewn into the hem to make an inside pocket?

@Lynne
High praise coming from you!

That machine is a Singer 29K172 I picked up recently. Still tweaking it. This work I did on my Sailrite.

@pechelman

I hadn’t considered incorporating the pocket bags into the seam. My biggest worry was throwing off the proportions. I felt that if the length of the placket under the bottom snap was shorter than the length between snaps, it wouldn’t look right. This was as short as I could go without crossing that line.

@Go-For-Chill It’s a beauty. We’re going to be incorporating leather remnants from our jackets into Relove, so I’m keen to see it working vs how our flat stitchers here/hand sewing works. And vs the Sailrite. I’ve followed them for years and crave the portable machine. Which one do you have?
