Rabbitbrush Flannel Shirt

I made this last October but I love it so I wanted to share it here.

The golden yellow matches the chamisa, or rabbitbrush, blooming here in the Fall. The flannel plaid fabric I found on eBay. The buttons from Etsy. And the paisley contrast fabric is from a reuseable shopping bag from a shop in Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. I think it might’ve been sari fabric. The pattern is McCall’s M7575 with minor modifications for a better fit.

What a great shirt, no wonder you love it so much!

I really like how you used that contrasting fabric! I’ve been planning on making a flannel shirt for my son and you have opened my eyes to new possibilities!

Thanks! I got the idea from some retro style Western button ups I was admiring. But I went with flannel because it was getting colder and that sounded cozy.

This looks great! The yellow plaid is pretty on its own, but that pop of blue for contrast…wow!

Great top! I love the pop of blue that the buttons bring to the placket, especially.
