RNHS: Rugby Jersey Finished
Normal service resuming in 3…2…1…
The Requested Nerdy Husband Sewing: Rugby Jersey is done! 
And I am happy to announce that NH is most pleased with it.
Inside out detail:
You’ll have to believe me when I say it looks 100 times better on my actual husband, rather than Scarlett!
Stripe matching? Check!
I reinforced the shoulder seams with twill tape to prevent any stretching.
And here is the magnificent button placket…which wasn’t actually that difficult in the end. I just needed instructions! 
You may notice the lack of rubber buttons because I haven’t sourced them yet, although I think I know a store that may have something but it was closed when I last drove past it…NH is happy with standard plastic buttons for now. The jersey will have it’s first official outing for New Year’s Lunch…which will actually be the 6th, a minor detail.
The deets:
Pattern: Burda Magazine 04/2007 #130 “Men’s t-shirt” heavily altered to match existing All Blacks polo shirt
Fabric: “Rugby Jersey” Knit selected by Nerdy Husband from Moorelands in Palmerston North and white drill from the stash

Oh well done! You deserve to feel super chuffed with yourself!
That turned out great! Good work
Well done, you can now go back to sewing stuff for yourself without feeling guilty!
So true, and so I have
Now that is one fine looking rugby jersey – kudos to you!
Thank you my dear
Wow, impressive! Congratulations, it looks really professional – you should maybe think about designing for the All Blacks!
Happy 2013 and looking forward to following your sewing adventures next year.
Hehe, that would be funny. NH doesn’t really approve of this tight-shirted nonsense currently sweeping rugby uniforms, he likes the old school jerseys so maybe he would like me designing for the mighty ABs
Wow…so professional looking! Nice work!
Aww, shucks, thanks
Wow, it looks great! Well done!
Wow, really nice.I think your hubby is very happy with it
Yep it looks fantastic – I hope we get to see the shirt on NH at some point? With or without rubber buttons it looks ace. Nice one.
I hope you don’t have to wait until the 6th to celebrate the new year too BTW. Or maybe you’ll be celebrating from the 1st to the 6th?!!
Don’t worry, we celebrated today (the 1st) I taught my itchy-footed-SIL how to make my famous (which isn’t really famous, just from the trusty Edmond’s bible) lasagne, it was yum! It’s just the official family lunch that is postponed for the 6th, might be able to get a sneaky photo then
Love Edmonds …. and Alison Holst!
You can always reply of the Kiwi classics!
Nice one! That’s turned out really well – I’m impressed!
Thank you, I suspect he is planning more jerseys for the future…he was suspiciously interested in my next fabric shopping trip!
