Same pattern as the reindeer shirt but with slightly narrower cuffs, and as the buttons are smaller, more buttonholes!
The fabric was a thrifted remnant, a lovely soft cotton and a non directional print.
Unfortunately the dye has leaked in places when I pressed after using the water spray during construction. I think I'll let it soak in some hot water with salt added to see if I can even out the dye, as I quite like the effect where it is pale and dark red instead of red and white.
And if that doesn't work think about overdyeing it.

Updated to add that I soaked the shirt in very hot salty water overnight - the water turned red so obviously a lot of dye came out. The next day I washed on cool in the washing machine and left to air dry - the colour is now even across the whole shirt.

This looks great! And I'm glad the washing helped even out the dyes.
