{craftey katey} mr. mountain man’s new shirt

Last weekend my Mountain Man and I celebrated dating 3 years! It’s crazy how fast time goes. We spent the day relaxing at the hot springs and finished our evening with a delicious dinner at Fruition, a local restaurant I have been wanting to go to for ages.

Instead of buying a gift for my guy, I spent the week sewing and tailored a button down shirt for him! I used a Walden pattern (check them out – you’ll be inspired to sew) and found a wool blend fabric to use for the main shirt fabric. A couple special details make the shirt unique, like a personalized ‘Made by Katey with Love’ tag and a contrasting fabric for the interior yoke. He was thrilled and was nice enough to let me snap a few photos during the Broncos game on Sunday, thus the Broncos hat. Boys will be boys.

Roberto Cavalli Menswear Fall 2011

The model isn’t too bad either.

Yes. I could make a suit very similar to this. (impressive, right?)
