I decided to base the T on a T-shirt from my wardrobe - I love this one because it clings to my figure without being tight, and its plenty long enough, plus I just like the style.
So, the top got made, taken apart and remade, and then I made another one - and I think I've got the pattern and techniques perfect! These are the things I learnt…
2) All the seams are stitched and then overlocked, with the exception of the seams between the front and back collar pieces - these edges are completely sealed away from sight, and by not overlocking them I avoided the slight bulge that I had at the intersection of seams on the blue shirt (I'm a perfectionist!)
