Blue and red paisley Simon with aligned pattern details

Hi there!

After a busy and productive time, I finished my next Simon shirt. It is the first after the long series of tests, with a blue paisley main fabric and a red detail fabric with the same pattern. It was my first shirt to attempt a welt pocket, and because the pattern of the two fabrics is the same, it takes great care about alignment and non-alignment, and took much longer to make.

And like before, I have longer story with more details online.

Looking forward to opinions, comments, questions. :slight_smile:

Thanks for helping us curate our showcase library :pray:

PS: If you have already included the showcase-on-website tag, then please ignore this message. I am not currently smart enough to figure that out on my own :see_no_evil_monkey:

I’m loving this. The extra effort to pattern match has created a stunning finish, great work.

Wow. Stellar pattern matches. Even on the welt. Thanks for all the detail.

That looks amazing! You are a patient person, Henrik. Great blog post, too. Using masking tape was a great idea. And don’t worry about your logo obfuscating most of the pattern: it’s the edges that matter, and the match is still clearly visible.

And the last photo in your blog post :rofl: . We can all relate to working around sharp objects!

I was not prepared for a close-up picture of that pattern matching on the welt :flushed_face:

That is some next-level attention to detail :ok_hand:
