I learned a lot, and will plan to go again in the future. Someday, I'll get to attend on my own boat.
Here are all the pictures I …

I found a really cool green and white stripped seersucker fabric and had to do something with it. So I made another shirt using the Hawaiian Classics pattern. I'm really happy with how it turned out. I'm getting the hang of collars finally.

Time to start a new shirt. I purchased the Hawaiian Classics 220 shirt pattern from the Victoria Jones Collection. This is my first 'non-beginner' pattern. The instructions are great, and the construction is pretty straight forward. I did end up making several learning mistakes on the muslin, but the real …
