This fitted tee-shirt pattern is a winner! This pattern easy and quick to make and I feel great wearing it! Although I'm a beginner on sewing knits, I followed Jenny's excellent instructions and managed a perfect vee-neck. Depending on the fabric, I can see this working as an elegant work top or fun tee-shirt for the beach or a barbecue.
Easy to construct, lots of length/sleeve variations. That being said, I was surprised that the fit was so tight on this pattern -- check your measurements against the pattern pieces, not just against the size grid. Also, if you are an apple shape, you may find that you want to regrade the side seems to avoid the hourglass dip.
I recently got the printed version of this pattern and just finished the first make with it. I like the versatility of the pattern.
But I also goofed in cutting a V-neck front when I originally wanted a scoop neck. Ah well user error.
Again the instructions are very clear and easy. (the only thing I saw while working with the v-neck was
when making the point of the "V", do you point the raw edges inward or outward...the instructions didn't say.
Incidentally it was outward)
I admit I don't particularly like making muslins...I have a tendency to just jump right in knowing the first make
is probably going to need adjustment. The one I chose seems right for my measurements, although it fits snug.
I personally am not a big fan of tight-fitting T-shirts. So next time I'll know to grade up a bit so it's looser around
the waist and hips. On the upside, NO FBA! YEAH!
I did find while tracing out my size that trying to follow the lines for your particular size particularly around the neck
and shoulders can be a bit of a hot mess. Highlighting the line you want to follow works.
All in all, great pattern.
I have just made this shirt up n was amazed first up, how easy the instructions were to follow.
A lot of patterns you feel like they are written in another language! So difficult to interpret how it is to go.
2nd point I would like to make is the shirt fits like a glove n most of all allows you to function without some part pulling or buttons gaping at front.
Absolutely delighted with this pattern.
So lovely to have a t shirt that fits me, rather than being a shapeless garment - I found the crew neck a little high for my tastes and the scoop a little low, but it was very easy to amend to my own personal preference. Instructions were clear and made for a very easy sew.
