Today's queue project is a somber one. I will be making two Hawaiian shirts for a friend who has been recently diagnosed with cancer, because these shirts are convenient to wear during chemo treatments. As button-up-the-front shirts, they allow easy access to the chemo port on the chest, and yet they are still casual and comfortable (i.e., more like polo shirts or t-shirts than dress shirts).
I picked this fabric because my friend loves airplanes:
And this fabric because he recently became an American citizen:
I hope he likes my fabric choices. He's scheduled for 6 rounds of chemo, spread across 18 weeks and I'd like to get these shirts to him right away. So, as you might imagine, these are now at the top of my queue.

Your friend and you are lucky. Love your fabrics--what a thoughtful thing to do.
What pattern are you using?
You are such a kind person to do this for your friend. I'm sure the shirts will bring a bit of joy when he wears them.
Hugs to your friend and may your sewing mojo kick into high gear.
