Hurrah! The sewing is done!
I finished the undershirt (replacing the dicky I made for Gallifrey) for the able seaman's uniform tonight.
I'm pretty pleased with it, given that I had to draft the pattern from a photo of a frequently-laundered vintage garment.
And, for reference when you're looking at the photos, this is made from a woven cotton, *not* a knit...
Able Seaman's undershirt
A white cotton (neckline edged with blue denim) version of the white wool "flannel" which would have been part of a 1912 seaman's uniform.
All the seams are flat felled, and the edges have a rolled handkerchief hem
It's a shirt!
I drafted this one from scratch, so I'm pretty happy with the fit
It's still a shirt!
