another day, another tee

written by Jen on Wednesday, November 14, 20073 Comments

Yep, I made another tshirt today. No, I’m not done yet. I still have a few patterns I want to try out and a lot of stash fabric to get through. Not to mention that I currently have a closet full of daggy old things that really need updating and of course, I can’t buy new. A great excuse for sewing up a storm, I think!

I used a grey knit with tiny black spots. The neckband is a plain black similar-weight knit. It was supposed to be interfaced with a stretch interfacing but I didn’t have any on hand, so I just used a lightweight fusible made for woven fabric and it worked out fine. I knew that there didn’t need to be any real stretch required due to the scoop neck.

This time I tried out something from Hot Patterns - the Weekender Sunshine Tops pattern. It went together very smoothly - next one I make, I think I will add the band (as in the sleeveless version) as the tee does swing out quite a bit.
