I didn’t have too much gift sewing this year, although one thing didn’t get started until December: I got Doc’s brother in their family gift exchange that they do in January and he said he wanted a custom shirt. I promptly forgot about that until I asked Doc’s sister at the end of November what Brother might want and she said, “I really think he’s expecting a shirt.” Shit!

Brother is a car guy with a vintage Cougar, so much searching later, I found the last yardage in existence of the old Alexander Henry muscle car print (from a shop in Wyoming that still hasn’t checked their email, but shipped promptly). Brother was a size 4X, according to Sister, so after googling to see what chest measurement that corresponded to, I bought the Helen’s Closet Tofino Top pattern because that went up to 60 inches.
That’s the size I made and it was a delightful pattern to put together. But does it fit? READER, HE HASN’T EVEN TRIED IT ON YET. 😑 At least it was an easy sew?
Moving on, Doc got another stretch woven print shirt, this time in a Hawaii volcanoes print (from Sew Dynamic Fabrics, same place as his desert print). This fits and he wore it the day of Christmas, because he is a wise man. 
He also got new underwear, because it was time and he’s hard to shop for. But he’s always grateful (again, A WISE MAN) and these are quick to make (the Greenstyle Walbrook Boxer Briefs).
