I used Kwik Sew #1971, size 5. I picked up the discontinued pattern at the Waterfront Mission for a quarter - what a deal! I pretty much stuck with the pattern, except for topstitching. I didn't do any topstitching on the collar or yoke - that seems so outdated. I also didn't have any 1/2 inch buttons, so used 9/16. They're too big. I'd say even smaller than a half-inch would have been better. Oh well, it's done.
So, now big brother and little sister have matching outfits.
I hope Sean likes his new shirt ... I still want to get a red t-shirt to go under it. Maybe I'll put an Alabama A on it --- just to irritate Justin :-)

Big buttons are good, he is learning to button his own shirts so the bigger the better. Can't wait to see you.
