Priest shirt? No, as it turned out, he meant a chasuble, the shirt like, cloak like vestment a priest wears to say Mass.
Well, that's a lot easier on my limited sewing skills!
I just took a piece of fabric, folded it in
quarters and cut it into a big oval (an arc along the outer edge of
the folded fabric). I then cut the folded corner for the hole in the middle. That was it!
Except he decided he wanted another color... and the purple one was too short (but the right size for Oob), so I made another longer one in red.
If they play with them a lot, I'll take the trouble to hem the edges, but if not, the raw edges will be fine.
Actually, if they really use them, I'll probably sew them back to back so that it will be reversible and I won't have to worry about how to hem the tricky parts.
This trick may only work if you have heaps of fabric lying around because people give you fabric even though you really can't sew...

I love it. I have lots of chasubles from All Saints day costumes past. My youngest held an outdoor Mass a few weeks ago. The dog and I were the only ones who attended and she didn't sing very loud ;)
