woven tee

I have been looking for a t-shirt type pattern for awhile that would work really well with woven fabric.  My machines do not handle knits very well.  I just have a straight stitch.  Not even reverse.  I tried making my own and they were not quite right.  The Scout Tee got good reviews when I read about it online and I decided to give it a try.

I took a look at the pattern and I realized it is based on an A-line shape I have been enjoying a lot for the last year or so.  Of course, can I leave anything alone?  I tweaked the pattern a bit.  I changed the sleeves and put a back seam in it so I would save fabric.  Took a bit of fabric out of my stash and gave it a go.

I made this shirt as gifts for other people at Christmas but this is the first one for me.  I like it.  Mr. Bert said the fabric looked like Irish linen even though it is a cotton print.  It skates well too.  I may not make many, because I just do not have a need for many shirts, but this is going to be a go to pattern for when I want a simple tee type shirt from now on.  It is so much easier then going to the store and trying to find something that fits!
