Aime Comme Monsieur for Ben

 

My favourite mens shirt pattern.

Aime Comme Monsieur (While linking this pattern I noticed that the sizing has increased, previously it was only S/M/L and this is a medium. It now goes up to XXL so I may be able to make one for Jerry)

This is my 23rd version of this pattern. I have so many other shirt patterns but I always seem to pull this one out.

Ben is turning 21 and I wanted to make him something really special 

I have a roll of this crisp, Italian cotton shirting and I thought the emerald would be perfect with Ben's green eyes.

This fabric is lush to sew.

I went with green top stitching. Luckily I had the perfect shade.

I chose small, white Riverstone buttons, sturdy but elegant.

 I really like the high, shaped back yoke.

And the neat shaping at the waist.

Silly boy!

I think I should sew him some shorts next ...

In conclusion, my go to shirt for the fellows, lovely sew, good results plenty of bang for your sewing buck.

He still models like a penguin!

When I sew a gift, I like to include a wee zip lock bag with a fabric swatch and a few buttons, just in case.

Thank you for reading... xx Nicole
