Sewing Batik's Shirt for Boy


Celebrating the National Day ... my sons' school is often obliged to wear batik instead of his school uniform. Especially on the commemoration of National Batik's Day. At the event they are required to keep wearing batik clothes with free motifs and colors for a whole week. Yupp .. full for a whole week children goes to school wearing batik that became the identity and the pride of this country. That's why, I've made some batik shirts for him. Here is one of the batik shirts I've made.

This batik made from cotton. Beige is the basic color, decorated with red maroon. I chose this color to make his teenage image is not lost because wearing batik. I applied One Piece Collar on this shirt, about how to make this Collar  you can see in other parts of this blog. On the left chest, I added a welt pocket instead of the patch pocket like most school uniform shirts.

What you need:

  • Batik's fabric, I choose soft cotton material for comfortable use for children.
  • Interfacing
  • Pattern, and other sewing supplies
Pocket's need :
  • Welt rectangle (interfaced rectangle) that is about four times the height of the welt and a couple centimeters wider.
  • Pocket facing - ( same color as the welt rectangle) a rectangle approximately the size of  welt piece that will be top-stitched to the pocket lining to act as a backdrop for the welt pocket
  • Pocket lining -  made out of thin cotton or some other pocketing material. The width is the same width as the welt rectangle and about 30 centimeters long.

PATTERN

Prepare a shirt pattern for boy, make sleeve pattern and collar, here because i was hunted by the time I choose to use ‘One Piece Collar as the collar ( it is the fastest way to make collar).

Hai..
Kurang tahu apa sebabnya link download ke google drive belakangan ini tidak bisa otomatis ter-direct ke alamat drive, jadi harus request dulu. Sebelumnya bisa langsung mengarah ke drive dan otomatis bisa langsung di download. Kalau yang sekarang saya juga jadi agak kerepotan.
Karena saya tidak selalunya membaca email, jadi request teman2 sering terlewat..
Jika saya sedang aktif akan langsung saya arahkan ke drive agar pola bisa di download.
