I made this shirt for May the Fourth Star Wars day. Mr SNS had selected the fabric himself from B&M Fabrics around the New Year. He originally wanted piping all round the collar and button band but I kindly declined.
The compromise was what you see here. Having made this 7 times now , there isnt much else I can add except to say that sewing the short sleeve is even faster than the long sleeve. Its the same pattern I have used since the first one made in December 2015 so if you’d like to read a more detailed review then please click here.

To avoid pattern matching – contrast button band.
So happy with the collar.
Double hem stitching for added oomph 🙂
I cut the collar so that when its popped the storm trooper is staring at you 🙂
My fave part of a project is when I get to put my brand on it #ownit!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Until next time Happy Sewing!
Peace and love,
Hila

May 11, 2018 9:08 pmSo cute with the lightsabre! I think the contrast down the middle helps make it a little sane and grounded and makes the rest of it more distinct. Good call on not having everything with piping added, even the eternal tedium of doing it aside. I LOVE the underside of the collar!
