Kay,
Thanks, that sound intriguing and I may investigate it just out of curiosity. DH wears a dress shirt and tie so seldom, though, that I'd rather spend my time making him shirts he'll wear often. It's a shame in a way, as he does look so nice all polished up!

Dear Joy, aka head nitpicker,
Thanks!
Well, I'm a fairly recent convert to fusible interfacing. I used not to like it at all. The tricot-type fusibles won me over, though.

Picking nits is a horrendous disease.
Last year I wore my (ho-made) tulip shirt to the local tulip fest, and remembered the several years it spent in UFO status. Whenever someone admired it for longer than a "nice shirt," I'd point out that the freakin tukips MATCH across the freakin front, and the left front pocket!
Spent yesterday cutting out shirts of cell phone fabric (I work in the biz, and really hate wearing corporate logos). Two are ready to stitch, and the third will join them soon. On each one, I did the same thing: matched the freakin phones across the front, and on the pocket edges!
Now I need some multi-colored cell phone buttons for the multi one. Already have grey and lavender for those shirts.
Maybe I'll log off and staighten the newspaper recycle bin.

Where did you find cell phone fabric? Although most of the DGC don't like Gramma-made clothing anymore, but prefer non-fit from the big names such as A-F, etc. They might actually wear something with cell phone and/or IPod designs. Usually, they have one or both with them all day, sometimes I ask if they sleep with them. This might be a "For fun" gift. Emily
Bright pink tie-dyed print (black phones) currently at Hancock. It's a back to school print, and fairly flimsy compared to the other two.
Blue spiral (like the "Psycho" logo) with grey phones: fabric.com during my first wireless gig in 2001. I bought all they had. Was also available in green and brown.
Black ground with multi phones (shaped like those older Nokias, each with a text message) from Field's (west Michigan chain). It might be available from one of the quiltshops.com sellers.
Want my fall-off? I'm hanging onto any scraps with a complete phone.
