The best part about this pattern? No alterations! Well, one teeny one, and I hardly call it an alteration. I traced the size 10, and around the waistline level, I veered out to the size 12. The length without the band is perfect for my short little self. I could probably even cut the size 8 for the top part (or just a straight size 10), but I like my knit tops a little loose. The next one (and there will be a next one) I may raise the neckline just a skosh.
Anyway. I'm calling this color cadet blue, and it's a short sleeve t-shirt. Meet the Renfrew Blue:
Looks good. I'm sewing my striped version tonight or tomorrow. Can't wait to make a bunch myself.
ReplyDeleteIt's the season for new Ts and that is a terrifi one!
ReplyDeleteHi Elle,
ReplyDeleteMy, this is a pretty blog you have here! I'm so glad you are on board for MMMay'12! I love how well thought out your pledge is, I'm sure you'll get so much more out of the challenge for approaching it in such a considered way.
BTW, that black Mad Men dress looks totally killer on you! AMAZING work! I really hope that sees an outting during May
All the best

Awesome tee Elle! I LOVE this deep blue color on you, very very flattering! I'm sure digging the Renfrew tee (sans bottom band for me as well), and need to snap a photo of the rather LOUD version I made last weekend --- you're sure to smile when you see how bright the fabric is LOL! I have another one in the sewing queue for this weekend too :D
