Hey Nann, have you thought of patenting or otherwise distributing this
pattern?? I can think of several clergy in this diocese who could
surely use something like that!!!

hmmm, now there's a thought. The only problem is the only male I've sewn for
much is my husband and this pattern is currently fitted to his rounded
shoulders and tummy and his height........ Were I to try marketing the
pattern, I'd probably need to pair up with someone who knows more about
"ordinary" men's sizing.

Uh, Uh. I was thinking of all the round shouldered rotund tummied
clergy around here (and in other dioceses in which I have lived).

Ah, I see now. I'd be happy to send out a copy of the one that's made up to
anyone who can use an 18/35 pattern with tummy room! <chuckle> Only the
short sleeves are tested thus far though, not yet the long sleeves. I have a
soft spot for your part of the country, too. Most of my kin have lived in
Louisiana for years, mostly the southeastern part. We go back generations
there on my dad's side. My parents met at LSU long, long ago.

He wore the red clerical shirt I just made him again today for a clergy
wedding we went to (he's a bit unique.....) and I fiddled more and decided
the problem is in actually twofold - I need both a smidgen more width in the
first few inches of the upper front as well as needing the neck dropped a
smidgen lower. It figures that after almost 17 years of living with me, the
DH had realized that it wasn't quite perfect at the top of the placket. I've
trained him too well in the field of custom made shirts.......

Back to drafting a banner pattern. Anyone have tips for working with a cat
in the house? We were adopted by one recently - a real sweetheart who won
over two life-long dog people but he just does slow down every project I work
on!

Ah, yes. The quilt inspector. I do best if I can find something for my
cats to do. Something that interests them more than what I am doing.
That can be a challenge. Mine are fond of eating. A special treat is
to be allowed into the basement - then they are busy for quite a while.
I hope you find something to occupy yours. Cats have been enriching
my life for a very long time.

On the topic of cats (very off-topic, I know) I saw this today and it's
a kick!
