The worst headache of my entire life was caused by fumes from the epoxy being used by my dad and brothers to build a kayak using fiberglass strips with epoxy back in the 60's.

When I was a kid a friend of the family borrowed a section of our shop to build a canoe. I loved watching it come together and the smell of epoxy brings me back to when I was 12.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109094036312857121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-55028309412843714882015-01-16T18:51:54.091-05:002015-01-16T18:51:54.091-05:00Looks great...VERY cool fabrics, wonderful fit, sp...Looks great...VERY cool fabrics, wonderful fit, splendid accents. <br />And that boat is really fine!David Page Coffinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538959960447063231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-28992165330706295772015-01-16T13:18:10.108-05:002015-01-16T13:18:10.108-05:00This shirt is marvelous; thank you for sharing tha...This shirt is marvelous; thank you for sharing that great fabric!Richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03303921118797999599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-14038812936266199202015-01-16T12:21:37.872-05:002015-01-16T12:21:37.872-05:00Wonderful shirt.

I'm used to sewing plain (striped!) business shirts for the husband but he's recently put in an order for "brushed cotton plaid western style to match his genuine Kansas-arian cowboy boots". Yes, he is a tourist in the Midwest, but a highly specific one. Somebody has also clearly grown used to my sewing. Those pockets have inspired me. BTW also impressed with the boat building. My husband purchased a 300page book of boat building plans about 5 years ago - we ended up renovating/building a house instead. But I'm pretty sure he would be green with envy if he saw that boat.Debbie Ileshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11237352412615372174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7579381835650147304.post-89189972934207156592015-01-15T21:46:49.177-05:002015-01-15T21:46:49.177-05:00I can't remember how I found your blog last we...I can't remember how I found your blog last week but I am thrilled that I did. I loved your Missoni jacket and now I really love this shirt. I too would have had love at first sight when this fabric fell on me. You have made this shirt your own by adding the detail on the pocket which I think makes it so unique. I use to sew for my late husband and I know he would have really liked this shirt. My son who is 29,is beginning to appreciate Mum's makes for him and I am going to add a little pocket detail in future. Thanks for the inspiration and I also really admire your craftmanship, building a boat. You are a busy man.Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09491386020542209322noreply@blogger.com
