If you’re wondering what I mean by matching the design, look at the lavender dinosaur. See how it repeats across the entire garment in a straight line? I treat a design element as if it were sitting on a stripe, and match it up horizontally and vertically.

You said it took you all day, like that was an unusual thing. How long does it normally take? I am planning to try a shirt soon (I know everyone has heard that for the last 5 years, but im getting closer to being serious).
It looks amazing and I LOVE dinosaurs so i especially love this one.
Nice!
Love the Dino fabric, and your meticulous pattern matching! Looks great on you.
@gozer I thought I had replied but it seems to have disappeared. I’ve made this shirt before so I thought it would be a quick sew to make another. It wasn’t particularly fast–but yes, a lot faster than, say, a shirt with a collar and cuffs and buttonholes and all that.
I love it and I 
your pattern matching. It’s a subtle thing, but it makes such a difference
Fantastic fabric and a perfect fit!
This is absolutely fantastic! I love the pattern matching, especially on this one because…dinosaurs.
I did not know what pattern matching was! I looked at the seams and saw the break. But your photo makes it clear - that would take hours to wrap my head around it.
And that fabric. Fun!
