I started sewing this pattern about two years ago (which sort of parallels my weight-loss journey). I have SEVEN of them in my closet now. Here they are from oldest to most recent. This pattern is the best way to use purchased t-shirts: cut out the center front panel piece and add coordinating fabric for the rest.
L-R:
Norwood Nobles – size 20 – I was CELDT testing 2 years ago and the friendly staff at Norwood Jr High gave each of the testers a school t-shirt. For one day’s work? The perfect shirt to test V8938 to see if I liked the fit. I did.
Green/Brown – size 18 – perfect for a pair of camo cropped pants.
Dark green Saskatchewan t-shirt with a hot orange batik knit from Stone Mountain and Daughter.
Tie-dyed t-shirt made by Calvary Lutheran Church youth group as a fundraiser at Farm & Tractor Days in May 2015.
Black and white coordinating Lotta Jansdotter woven cotton prints with a different back … which is just heavy enough to pull the front neckline up to the point of discomfort.
May is Bike Month “I am Happiest on my Bike” – a very nice drapey purple poly knit.
Bicycle Heaven – size 14 – with a great Liberty of London jersey knit called Torsten.
On the near horizon, FIVE more V8938s. Stay tuned.
