Simplicity 4760 Made With Help From a Cat

I'm trying to get a bunch of vacation clothes made before summer and decided to start with some shirts for James. Found this beautiful fabric and couldn't resist a roomy button up. 


The fabric is gorgeous and drapes beautifully. I almost made a dress with it I was so in love. I got started and things were going along pretty well.......

Until.......


This is George, making sure I'm ok..... 



Checking in to make sure I can handle things on my own. I assured him I had everything under control but I don't think he believed me......


He settled in and insisted on supervising the whole sewing day. I must admit it was very nice to have the company.


The shirt turned out well, although roomier than I had expected. I used the exact same pattern pieces that I always use to make James his shirts...... but this time it seems to be two sizes bigger. 

Maybe James is shrinking?
Do you sew with your cat?
