I've never made any mama clothes before so Shannon was nice enough to loan me her Kwiksew Book so I could make some shirts. I made 2 of these for the mama swap but I'm not real happy with how they turned out so I don't think I'll send them. Dh was nice enough to snap a quick picture before he left for work.

The main thing I don't like about the pattern is the sleeves. I even shortened them a bit and I still don't like them. They seem too baggy to me. The length of the shirt seems a little short but it's about right for me. I'm still nursing so I don't need to be able to tuck the shirt in.

Pretty! I think it's really flattering, and I adore that print.

I finally gave away my KSES book, everything was too boxy for me, not fitted enough.

It looks great on you!!!

I had the same problem w/the kses t-shirt pattern, I ended up hacking off quite a few inches off my pattern piece and it's a much more modern pattern now. I also angled in my pattern piece a little at the waist, so it curves in a bit.

I love that print and enjoyed seeing it as a T-shirt, because, that is what I have mine earmarked for. :) Nice work. :thumbsup:

i think it looks great! i have made one t-shirt from kses and i was shocked at the arms. lol they were just rediculously big. but you must've taken just the right amount off. they don't look too big at all.

I think your shirt looks great. I will agree with you about the sleeves and the length . . . the KSES sleeves seem wide to me and I always add at least two inches to the bottom hem line. I too hacked up my pattern to make my "just for me" pattern.

Your v-neck looks perfect and the shirt is very flattering. :heart:

I agree the shirt is flattering on you. I love my KS book. But I don't like the T pattern, for the same reason. Your V looks awesome
