Pattern Description

Basic long sleeve t-shirt. Slim fitting design with longer sleeves, it's designed to extend past the wrists.

Which view and size did you make?

146

Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

No

If not, why?

I did not add the applique design on front bodice. I changed the hem line by adding a contrast strip using my serger to roll hem sewing technique. I placed the contrast fabric and bodice wrong sides together and serged them together, pulling slightly to create a lettuce edge effect. I then hemmed the contrast fabric with a stretch twin needle.

Were the instructions easy to follow?

Yes

If not, why?

-

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?

The design is a modern and trendy for older girls. My dd wanted the extra long sleeves and fitted style. She immediately approved this design/pattern

Fabric used

cotton jersey knit--might be a baby rib knit

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made or would recommend

I changed the hemline as described above/ I also did the neckline in the round, self binding method.

Would you sew this pattern again?

Yes

Would you recommend this pattern to others?

Yes

Any additional comments

I will be making more of these for winter, as my dd loves the style and likes how it feels layered. It fits great, too.
