      It's a great idea, except I think what Tabby likes about his shirts is that they smell reassuringly like one of her humans, so he'd have to be able to wear this shirt for a while first....

    Jon: "you're supposed to, like, tape these by the way, but I'm just not going to, because I can't be arsed."
    Also, clearly marked on the front sheet at 3:50: "Use the layers feature to print only one size. This will avoid confusion between lines"
    Meanwhile at 4:53 "I cannot for the life of me, see which colour is which"
    "also the linnen is sort of, it's pulling the design, so the actual design is now not... not... entirely straight... and where it should be."

So i was super stoked to see the preview image last week of the sewing machine and knowing jon's previous history with linen shirt discussions and attempting skills he doesn't know.
    so enjoying his blind speedrun of linen shirt :D
    Fyi - 9th anniversary by the same tradition would be Pottery or leather - lots of potential for fun there too.
    looking forward to another year of fun videos Jon Clair and Tabby. (and maybe finally a puppers?)
