Work Shirts and layette

It's been months since I have done any sewing besides mending. But I am ready to jump back in and hubby needs new work shirts. I tried buying some but they were cheap, cheap, cheaply made. They did not have the pocket in the correct spot, did not have a divider in the pocket for his pen, and were too short. So I dug out some cotton interlock (enough, I thought, for 2 shirts), searched high and low on the internet for rib knit collars and finally found and purchased some at a very reasonable price at Joyce's Fabrics and got started.

I guess it's been longer than I thought because I was completey out of practice. The cotton interlock shrunk a LOT and became almost too heavy for my purpose. And there was only enough for one shirt. Then I screwed up the placket--made it off center. Rats.

Oh well. The fabric was too heavy anyway. I'll use it for something else.

I ran to JoJos and bought some 50/50 interlock with a 50% off coupon and am ready to start cutting again.

At the same time I am working on a layette for my newest grandaughter, due in early October. Here are pics of the layettes for my other grandbabies:
