stitchery progress report


While these are not the most elegant of photos, and will be replaced in the end with hopefully something more complimentary, they do show that there are another two t-shirts finished... What can a girl do when it is a cold February day? The Blue Max photo was taken very quickly before I too turned blue. The shirt will be good everyday clothing, which is what is needed most in my wardrobe.
The cave horse shirt has sleeves that really make me happy, for some reason that kind of triangle pattern always pleases my designer brain. I wore this shirt all day as a third layer over a longsleeve grey rayon t-shirt and an indigo corduroy pinafore; it makes the t-shirt look a little bunchy. Trust me, when worn as a single layer, it fits just fine.
If it is possible to continue with steady progress on both my own projects and on my work for others, then before too long it will be possible to retire the threadbare worn clothing in my closet for sturdy new garments that will be fun to wear for the next several years

highlighted clothing is completed, black denim pinafore is half done...

  2. thank you Jilly - the pattern started out as a standard non-shaped T-shirt, and when I did the kind of FBA needed to shape it to fit me, it seemed like a good idea to convert the front to princess seams instead of monster dart... I worked this one out quite a few years ago when I got tired of never having T-shirts that fit me. It is definitely a TNT pattern now, and has had many changes rung upon it over the years.
