/ just call me angel of the morning, angel

so it’s been a rough month! but @truelovedetective’s amazing fics have gotten me through so many bad nights. what can I say, visions of country domesticity and Old Men In Love have me in a chokehold. I wanted to draw something to express how absolutely fucking nuts this epic romance makes me.

read the fic that inspired this here. that’s an order.

modern au where ed + jack have spent the last several decades buying izzy the absolute DUMBEST shirts for every occasion- its a competition between them at this point- whoever gets izzy the shirt that makes him groan louder wins. izzy complains about this ridiculous tradition but he secretly loves it, has kept every single shirt, and often even sleeps in them (he will kill anyone who ever finds out)

So here's the conundrum

I think I've figured out how much I need to take in the shoulders by, that's not really an issue. The issue is a) the best way to do that and b) then taking it in at the sides

This is the instruction given for how to narrow the shoulders (make a tuck). It doesn't explain what you do about the rest of it (e.g. armholes):

This is the little ruler thing that you adjust:

And this is roughly how most online instructions and also the McCall's sewing book suggest you do it (though they are all talking about women's clothing). Notably none of them tell you what to do about the chest:

The other part of the problem is this is a vintage McCall's men's pattern from the 1950s and the vintage sewing bloggers aren't making that shit

The temptation to make the whole Hanazaki family into vampires is literally at 200% only because I think it'd really be funny for Michi's mom to be like a wine mom... but instead of wine, it's blood. Her mom gets them matching shirts that say "don't bother me when I'm drinking breakfast" like the shirt below
