the reveal - the new short-cuts shirt
As, promised - here’s the new shirt I just finished for my DH:
I don’t think that the extra seam on the front facing is going to be missed… and the button holes look pretty good too (okay, so I should have ironed it again)!
Noreen left an excellent comment, reminding me of another favorite short-cut. When you’re cutting out shirts, place the back on the center fold of the fabric, instead of cutting out two halves of the pattern. You’ll save an extra seam down the back - and I think it looks just fine:

I do believe that I will try your short cuts. Hubby needs some new casual shirts for work!
thanks

Let me know how they turn out Lavon! I find that I can cut a good half an hour or an hour of time out of an average project with these shortcuts :-)
