The Pink T-shirt

September 2004

I had a off-white x-large tshirt that I couldn't wear at all and it had a stain. So, I dyed the shirt, then cut it apart and sewed a new shirt based on the pin-traced pattern I have.

Since I didn't have anything matching for the neckline and there was not enought fabric left over, I trimmed with with the purple decorative elastic.

The only mistake I made is that I didn't use a double needle on the sleeve hems. I will probably have to redo them, because they are not elastic enough. But I love the shirt.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Things I have learned:

~ when hemming knit sleeves, use double needle

~ same goes for applying of decorative elastic to neckline

~ I really like the curved hem, but maybe I should make it a tad longer next time.

~ the sleeves on this pattern a a bit too tight, I will have to change them a bit.
