Tee shirt for DGD from scraps of a tee I made for myself! I used the tee shirt from the most current Ottobre magazine--sorry, don't have it close at hand. She was pleased with it, and I always enjoy making her things. EASY shirt--just serged the seams and neckline. Turned the neckline under 3/8" or so and stitched it. No hems! You can tell it was late in the day, but the shirt still looks cute!
Here's the shirt I made for myself. I cut mine on the bias so the ruffles are a diagonal. It was a kit to make a tank top from Peggy Sagers--pattern and fabric included. When it arrived, I realized that I would never wear a tank top, so I made my trusty Loes Hinse Perfect Tee with short sleeves and think it will be a fun summer tee. Again, serged seams and no hems. What could be easier? I did learn a few things--should have cut the pattern piece out as full front and back pieces rather than messing with the fold. That was not the most successful part of the project, but I think it will be OK! It is just a fun trendy shirt that won't have to stand the test of time!
I also made a pair of Louise Cutting Discover Something Novel ankle pants from a nice linen. Love the pattern and the drafting--they went together so well and the directions are marvelous. The pants on me? Not so much. My DGD said, "Grandma, those are some BIG pants!" when I wore them over to her house one day. So--comfy, soft, well made...maybe OK for wearing at the beach. Live and learn!
