I've been going a little crazy making tshirts for myself lately. Here's my favorite modeled, a LWI-look rib knit I found in Shannon's FS pile. Look Alison (I know you're here :p ), I finally made one with the neckline the "right" way!

...and some more, baby nay polka dots (does this look too juvenile for an adult, DH thinks so?), heathered purple rib knit, embroidered blue/brown LWI, blue, grey and black cotton lycra jersey.

Whee! I've got about 10 more fabrics that are begging to be tshirts as well, but my drawer overfloweth; guess I'll have to start hanging them in the closet! :D

Oooooh! I'm in love with the purple one, but they all look great! Can you tell me what patt that is?

If you wear your embroidered LWI dye t-shirt and your brown velour pants tomorrow I can wear mine and we can be "twinkies" :p
I hope the dots aren't too juvenile because I was planning a top for myself out of the brown dots.
Lots of cute shirts :)

Thanks Candace, the pattern was traced from this (http://www.gap.com/asp/Product.asp?wdid=202599&wpid=280457) Gap tshirt.

Gorgeous...all of them!!! I think the polka dots are great!

Great tees! One should have an extensive t-shirt wardrobe, imo...(they can be dressy, casual...wash well...)

I love the dots fabric. Honestly, it's the baby nay that appealed to me the most as an adult fabric (which is really surprising considering all of the beautiful florals).

That's a lot of t-shirts! Very nice job!!!

OOO! I *love* that!!
but my drawer overfloweth I sympathize. :rolleyes: :)

Wowee! Thats a lot of t-shirts! Great job, and I don't think you can ever have too many t-shirts. They look great on you too :)

Those are great!! I live in T-shirts... I probably shouldn't, but they are soooo comfy! The more the merrier!!!

Very nice! I really like the purple one you're wearing!!

Wonderful! How do you get neckline to lay so nicely?

Awesome! I very badly need new shirts. Thanks for inspiring me.

I LOVE the one you are wearing! I also like the rest, but I actually agree with your dh... you could wear it with a leather jacket, or a suit coat, and it wouldn't look childish... but I think just that and jeans may be a little too young for me. :) That is the PERFECT t shirt pattern! I must have it... It looks great on you too!

Love Val

cool!

I was gonna trace one for Mich and she said she'd trace for other mamas. I've been too busy with birthdays and moving into the basement to get to it though :)

I have that purple fabric. It will be a tshirt for me one day...lol

That t-shirt pattern is so flattering, you look great :) I don't think that polkadots is too baby-ish.

wow that sure is alot of t-shirts. I love the purple one it looks very pretty on you.

Hey about that neckline, Jayme...........how'dya do it? I am not the best neckline do-er LOL.

First let me say I'm nothing without my coverstitch machine. The shirt I'm wearing I did by cutting a strip 1.75" x 25" (that second # will change depending upon your tshirt neckline and the fabric you're using). Serge the neckline strip into a circle, mark it into quarters and mark quarter points on the tshirt as well. Fold the strip in half, so it's a little under 1" tall now and serge the strip to the right side of the shirt. Flip it up, turn the seam allowance down toward the body of the shirt and double-needle or coverstitch with one needle on the strip and one on the body of the shirt.

There's a sew-along in the Sewing & Craft FAQ with pictures: http://www.amitymama.com/vb/showthread.php?t=160297

EXCELLENT!! Thanks for the info!

Jayme, loving the shirts. :heart: The polka dots are NOT too childish. :p They are fabulous to me.
