New shirt


Guess what? I made a T-shirt! And it was surprisingly easy!

One of my old J. Crew shirts bit the dust, so I ripped it apart and used it as a pattern to make a new shirt. The fabric was a ribbed knit left over from my Christmas skirt in 1997. I had just enough to squeeze out this shirt! I was intimidated by working with a stretchy fabric, but it was a breeze. I'll definitely try it again, next time with a bateau neckline!

I love the fabric and style! Glad to hear that knits aren't so hard to sew with. Someday, I'll tackle them! :)

Very pretty! Knits scare me--probably because I've had one or two disasters with them.
