OOP Simplicity 4889 T-shirt and OOP Simplicity 9978 shorts for Jed

Jed works very long hours.

He is often gone by 7am and doesn't knock off until 7 pm, later in Summer.
He likes to change into casual, sports clothes after his night time shower and his current kit was getting a bit tatty...

So I made him some new ones.

Firstly, how about the awesome graphic made for me by the super talented Brittney 
It comes stuck to a plastic sheet and you iron it in place.
Jed saw one Britters had made for her husband and he loved it.
Thank you Brittney, you are awesome sauce!

The t-shirt is ...... its actually a sleep shirt but I really liked the raglan shoulders.

It is sewn in a stable, light weight knit and I used ribbing for the neck band.

I made the shorts before so I already had a pattern to go.

It is OOP Simplicity 9978, from deep stash (no idea where it came from)
The fabric is some BullRush pique knit.
The scraps from Jed's polos 

I really took my time, matching the stripes.

Even inside the pockets.
Mr Whiskers was rather cheeky about the shorts when I made them but he wearing the regularly so I guess they are comfortable.

~Jed's Verdict~
Super comfy, tickled pink with the stencil.

~My Verdict~
Poor old Jed comes rather down the list on the sewing rota but he likes nice clothes (don't we all)? so I try and oblige him.
He is rather self conscious of his tummy (aren't we all)? so I was really pleased that this t-shirt looked good without swamping him in fabric.
I will definitely sew it again.
The shorts are a reasonable amount of faffing about, just for knit shorts, but Jed likes this style a lot so I am happy to make them for him.

Thank you for reading .... xx Nicole
