Dad's shirts for Carol's (grown) children


Carol's husband has passed away, but she saved many of his shirts, and now has Christmas gifts for her kids.  The one above is for her son, the one below for her daughter.

This is a vintage Terry Porter Trailblazer shirt.  complete with holes that developed from Dad wearing it for so long.  A bit of a challenge, you can't fuse white interfacing to a black shirt with holes, and not have the white show through.  Spray basted to black fabric for a stabilizer, and then quilted to death to hold it steady.
By far, my favorite shirt.
