More T-Shirts

 Now that I know how I have to change the pattern to fit me, I am busy using the patterns that I have and using up the knits for shirts that are in my stash. I am do for some new shirt now anyway.

 I like the style of this one. I will probably go back and do a different neckline next time.
 I really like this one. This is the tunic the length that the pattern calls for.

 This one I had to cut off four inches at the bottom because I ran out of fabric. I also had trouble deciding what was the right side and realized that I had chosen the wrong side to be outside. I had already sewn most of it and didn't feel like ripping it out, so just did everything with the serger and on the outside. I like the different look it gave the shirt. Our mistakes can be a good thing.
 I like the raglan sleeve on this one. The shirt is really comfortable.

Another T-Shirt

 This is my third t-shirt in working on coming up a good fit. I had to adjust the darts a little more and shorten the length.  I think I have it as close as I am going to get it. This fabric was a fun one. I hand painted on silk this design. Then sent it into Spoonflower and had it printed on a organic cotton jersey knit. The fabric on the print side is somewhat stiff, but the part that is next to the skin is soft. It has nice stretch, so I could accomplish the neck band.
