This is the second iteration of this pattern. The first time I made the sleeves both too short and too tight.
Good thing I have Deja to test all my patterns out on. I can grade them up or down once I get them exactly the way I want and the garments aren’t wasted because Deja can wear them.
This material is not reclaimed for once. It was in my stash and I don’t even remember if I bought it or if someone gave it to me. It’s stretchy blue cotton material, a slightly heavier than t-shirt feel, but very soft.
This is the shirt by itself:
That was taken on the floor of my basement sewing room, sorry about the uber classy shot.
And this is the shirt on Deja:
The sleeves fit perfectly! And she really likes it. This blue looks so, so pretty with her hair. It’s close to the blue of that flared sweater I knit for her.
I think next time I’ll just do the gathers on the front and leave the back plain.
