She Sews for People Too!

Today, I headed down into the Studio with about 3 hours to play. I didn't really want to start anything big and I didn't feel like finishing up the fleece that's still here. Although I will - as part of the effort of getting rid of stuff that will otherwise not be used. Anyway, I spotted this fun spotted fabric that came home with me from New York and shopping with Carolyn. It was a small piece and I knew all along that it wanted to be a t-shirt. I just didn't know which one. Originally, I thought it would become my old Kwik Sew Stand by - 3159 (which is now out of print). But intest it became Vogue 2925. This is a pattern the really highlights the skirt and jacket. Sharon made this top back in September and it was lovely. I have made this top once prior. It is quick and easy - literally. The longest part of making this top was pressing the bias strips around the neckline and armholes. I did lengthen this top 2". Now, I'm off to get ready for some fun family photos - including both daughters and the dogs :) Happy Sewing everyone.

  2. I was wondering if you were ever going to sew for people again *grin*. Isn't that a fabulous t-shirt pattern? It's definitely my favorite. I can see why you wanted this fabric ... it's perfect for a tee.
