Sinclair Kai men’s t-shirt<\/a><\/em>, size 38 with waist graded to 42, 1.5 inch shorter than regular length, 1.5 yards cotton Lycra<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

My husband loves to wear striped t-shirts shirts but finding good striped t-shirt fabric in anything other than alternating white\/color stripes is difficult. I bought this yellow striped cotton Lycra fabric when I saw it about a year ago and finally got around to sewing it up last week. I used the Sinclair Kai men’s t-shirt pattern<\/a>, which I used to make him a sage green short-sleeve striped shirt last summer<\/a> and two long-sleeve shirts<\/a> (plus the striped shirt I made him for our family photo shoot<\/a> last December). He wore the sage shirt a few days ago and one of his friends was surprised to learn I made it and said it looked just like a shirt from the Gap. I used the size 38 short, graded from the waist up to a 42 width to give him a little more ease, and used the regular length hem shortened by 1.5 inches because he never tucks his shirt in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I gave him his new yellow shirt as part of his birthday present. He seems to like it. It was also the right color for wearing to the Riveters game yesterday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
