Musings about Men’s Sewing Patterns
Men’s sewing patterns are either for the ‘youth’ or very old fashioned. How many of you have sewn a garment for your man? I feel it is an area of sewing that is unfairly neglected. We sew for ourselves all the time. We sew for our children when they are younger. From patterns to fabric, even the Burda pattern I use here has a “young” label on it.
As for fabrics I recently tried to shop for ‘boy’ fabrics but if you don’t want a moustache or sunglasses as a ‘fun’ print for boys or men, then you are left with stripes or chevrons? I have decided to try and remedy this situation. Next year I plan on setting myself a challenge, to sew at least one “Man Sew” garment per month. To Kick off my challenge. I have sewn my other half a long sleeved t-shirt in a two tone contrasting colour knit fabric. He loves it, it fits him perfectly and as a bonus he agreed to model for it!

(All other notions I already had)
You can buy cheaper elsewhere, but this is handmade and the only slave labour was mine? A very simple sew, my top tip for you – use a twin needle ballpoint needle to sew edges. looks very professional, I just need a bit more practice!
