Working on Concord t-shirt number 4 now. Fits like a charm. No pattern changes necessary. Yay!
Wow, this pattern is drafted so well. I was able to get the neck band in perfectly in the first try ( on other patterns I’ve had to fiddle and rip). I’m so happy with the quality of the finished garment, even without using a serger, that it will be my tried and true tee pattern.
I chose the Concord as my very first garment sewing project. I went with 3/4 sleeves, a rounded neckline, and a curved hem. Once I got my measurements down it was so easy to put together and made me feel skilled from the beginning! I wear it whenever I can and plan to make more soon as it really is my favorite shift these days.
The pattern is easy to follow and was a great first project. Now off to make a dress and more shirts!
Or how I got my sewing mojo back! I stopped sewing clothes years ago in lieu of making quilts. I have spent this year trying to get patterns to fit me, forgetting years ago I could open a pattern, add 2 inches and I was good to go. Probably why I stopped making my my own clothes was the bigger I got the more adjusts I needed to make. Reading up on plus size patterns I saw Cashmerette was constantly brought up and the Concord was THE t-shirt pattern. My first go was not bad but needed to adjustments. Jenny’s explainations of pattern grading was easy and made sense. I graded out 2 sizes from the bust, did a sloping shoulder adjustment and narrowed the neckline an inch (did I mention I am a triangle shape with very skinny shoulders?). I have now made 3, out of cotton and a bamboo knit. I LOVE them, feel great great wearing them and my mojo is BACK!! THANK YOU!!
I gained weight and was depressed until I made this shirt. Perfect fit instantly. It was so easy to customize into a tunic. I need more!
