in all my years of sewing, i have never made a t-shirt. i only started sewing with knits 2 years ago and have only made 4 knit garments ever. knits scare me. my serger scares me. however, fear not, i have begun my foray into t-shirts!
here is my first t-shirt ever! the pattern is the "strathcona henley" pattern from thread theory designs, the pattern i used for dad's and shirley's wool strathcona henley sweaters. the pdf pattern came with a t-shirt crewneck option as well. the sleeves are a bit long... not a fan. 'round back:
i then lopped off about an inch from each sleeve. much better!
the neckline features some kickass topstitching! look how straight!
unfortunately my intended guinea pig was a smidge too broad-shouldered for this t-shirt, so dad will be getting it for christmas! whoo! first christmas present, done!
look at my nugget!!! i love him!!!
tell that loaf I'm still livid over his eating my granola bars.
