Aloha!

I made the first of several aloha shirts for Bill from my new Hawaiian stash. Looks like with a big pattern and such an obvious repeat I should have matched the fronts. Matched the pocket, though--you probably couldn't even tell there was a pocket!

Bill tried it on and declared it a perfect fit. That's good since I needed a spread-collar pattern for him. This one will make more aloha shirts and I can adapt it for the bowling-shirt style with a contrast panel in the front. Maybe the boys' XL in the same envelope will fit me!
