Hemmed five bandanas for E. Fabric came from WalMart over a year ago. It’s one of those panel prints. I originally made a bandana dress for Miss O. Had previously hemmed one bandana for E, so now he has six. Everybody needs six identical red bandanas.

I’m really pleased with how it turned out, and it fits him! The fabric is a 100% cotton yarn dyed plaid from Fabric.com. I ended up doing a pretty fair job matching the plaid. I’ll admit, it wasn’t my highest priority. I just wanted a shirt that actually would FIT, since he’s such a string bean. I started with Kwik Sew pattern 2880 (edit Feb 2008: this pattern is now out of print), size medium, then lengthened the body and sleeves significantly, using a Sheplers tall shirt he owns as a guide.
