The Mini car shirt for Andy's Christmas present Vogue V8759

 I love this fabric, I bought it on Ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Classic-Mini-retro-Car-fabric-fat-quarter-50cm-x-56cm-By-Nutex-/310449574716?pt=UK_Crafts_Fabric_Textiles_SM&hash=item48483c933c&_uhb=1#ht_586wt_1186 - not sure that it was this seller - I paid £25 just for the fabric which is made by Nutex.  Naturally, I didn't get it finished for Christmas - although it was done for early in the new year
 I must try making another one in the short sleeves for Andy - there are so many more car motif fabrics to choose from for my petrol headed husband!!  Below is one of the French seams in the shirt, it was so long since I had used this technique.  Once again though I was pleased with the way the shirt looked inside and out.  The shirt is well fitted so I wonder if the next size up might have been better for a really comfortable fit but it gives Andy a good incentive to keep in shape to wear it!! :)
