William wears Hawaiian shirts almost exclusively...and I make them for him. He's particularly fond of the Alexander Henry girls...I have 3 or 4 pieces of fabric that I need to get sewn up for him!! (Then I get the scraps!! :) )

My husband also wear mostly Hawaiian shirts. He has somewhere between 60 and 80 last count, and they all have to be ironed. When they get too small I snag them and put them in my closet so I can use them for a quilt someday. I find them at yard sales and of course buy them new as well. I think they will make a beautiful quilt or quilts some day.

ha ha ha!!! cute!

I really didn't feel bad. They are nice shirts and deserve to be worn. I did get some fabric too! :)
|
My husband only wears Tommy Bahama. I can't wait until the day I can make a quilt from them.

:lol: Next time cut them up before showing them to hubby and DON'T bring him with you! :lol:

Well at least you got some fabric LOL....I found two beautiful April Cornell womens's dresses at Salvation Army a few months ago. Both beautiful off-white flowing, lacy dresses...I paid $3.99 (1/2 price sale) for one of them and $6.99 for the other. I could not pass them up even if the only one that ever wears them is my sewing dummy (form)..
Her special occasion dresses are always over $100 new |
My SIL loves Hawaiian shirts. I found one with Santa and palm trees in his size. Told him if he didn't like it I could use it for a quilt. He loves it.
