Golf Shirts

As I mentioned in last month's post, I am a mediocre golfer. So when I saw this embroidery design from Embroidery Designs.com (product ID MA5076) I knew it was the most perfect one for me. 

Note: I had a picture of the design here but due to technical difficulties the picture wouldn't stay or allow me to include it again. please click on the link to see the embroidery design.

At the end of July, my husband and I were going away with some friends for a golf weekend. It was a perfect time to wear this design and it would minimize anyone's expectations of my golf game. Unfortunately I did not have any golf shirts that I could embroider on or golf in for that matter. 

What I did have was Silhouettes pattern #225 that I have been wanting to try and some fabric stored away in my stash. I thought the pattern was going to be difficult, specifically the collar but to my surprise it was relatively easy.

Notice the embroidered saying on the grey golf shirt below.

The great thing about sewing is that you don't need a lot of patterns. Take a pattern and make it from different fabric colours and textures. No one will ever notice that they are identical tops. 

Once you can get a pattern to fit you the way you want (I think this is the most difficult part in sewing), go to town, make as many comfortable, well fitted garments you want and fill your closet.

I love these two golf shirts and will make many more; possibly with long sleeves, dressier for work, casual for weekends. Once the fit is right, the creativity is endless.
