I have finished my denim shirt – just in time, winter has come early with a cold blast.

I’m pleased with the shirt but my machine woes aren’t over, a second one has decided to skip stitches just when I was making the buttonholes – I look after the machines and usually don’t have problems but these things happen.

Anyway; the denim shirt.

I realised when looking at this photograph that I need to add one more buttonhole, I’ll do that today.

There was a lot of top-stitching, I always find the hardest part is up the sides and down the sleeve.

The ends of the shirt tails were thick and tough, so I used fabric glue, held it together with quilting clips and it made them much easier to finish.
