Several years ago I had purchased some fabric with hot peppers all over it with the intention of making a shirt for my husband. I even showed it to him and told him what I planned to make. Then, I got busy. The fabric was stored away and well, you know, forgotten.

As Christmas approached as a last attempt for any gift ideas, I asked my husband what he wanted for Christmas. He teased that he wanted a shirt with peppers on it. Well, there just wasn’t enough time for me to get it done before Christmas. So, I made it for him for his birthday which was last week.

It’s very bright. He likes it and has worn it twice. I used the same pattern from a few years ago. He likes the shirt but, it always bugged me that it was too short on his long torso. This one looks much better on him as I added 1 1/2 inches to the length.
