Pattern Info

Pattern info for this project can be found here:
The Sewing Worskhop t-shirt »

Instructions

Because I have larger arms and tummy, I adjusted the pattern for this. The top is so comfortable! I also shortened the sleeves a bit.

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Classic


Materials

My black & white fabric is from Hobby Lobby just to see if I have the measurements right. The multi colored is fabric I bought from Linda at the Sew Expo in Atlanta recently. I LOVE this fabric!!

What was your inspiration?

I was inspired to sew with knits because that's what I really like to wear. But I became very discouraged when I went shopping for an entire day and never found a top to fit me.

What are you most proud of?

I am so happy to finally have some new tops that fit. Since my figure doesn't match what is made in ready to wear, I decided I better learn to sew. I couldn't be more pleased and can't wait to make more!!!

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

The T-Shirt pattern that I bought from Linda Lee at the Sewing Workshop is a great beginner top for sewing with knits.
