i sew for boys, too


Here is a chambray half-placket short sleeve shirt I made for my friend. I saw a similar one I really wanted to buy for him, but it was well over $100, and I just can't bring myself to pay so much for something I can make at home. So here's my verson. I added coconut buttons to try to make it a little interesting.

A book about the closed fronted shirt is available on:

It tells how to make them, and their history. They are still being made and are often used as school uniforms in New Zealand. They are also part of Australia's National Folk Costume.
