Broadcloth Drop Sleeve Shirt When Andy & Lianne
asked to join us at
HBV 2009, I rummaged through my
costumes and quickly realized I didn't have anything that would fit
Andy. Then I realized I didn't have a drop sleeve pattern on
hand for someone his size (meaning adult size) and didn't have time
to order one either. So I sat down with the Eagle View Boy's
Drop Sleeve Shirt pattern I did have and worked up one large enough
to fit Andy. It is made from 100% cotton deep red broadcloth
with antique shell buttons. I included a rather deep pleat at
the center back to allow for ease of movement and finished the
inside collar and cuffs by hand. He looked the true skinner in
his new shirt and my red silk scarf.
