Simplicity 8529 became my go-to pullover sweater pattern this winter. Now, it seems like it may also become a go-to t-shirt pattern. Just a little Knit-N-Stable tape at the hemline to give it a nice, clean finish and it ended up an easy make.
This is a super easy project. It's a size medium but I could have gone for a size small this time. Something to keep in mind if I revisit this pattern. I did shorten the sleeves more than the other versions.
And unlike any long sleeve t-shirt I would find in the ready-to-wear landscape, these sleeves fit. The nautical print and contrasting neck and wrist bands are a cotton knit. Needless, to say, this is one comfortable t-shirt.
The Stats:
Fabric: 1.4 metres
Interfacing: 1.5 metres of Knit-N-Stable fusible tape
Pattern: Simplicity 8529
Additional Tools, Supplies & Distractions: Cutting table, scissors, tailor's chalk, Burda tracing paper, pencil, sewing machine, thread, walking foot, serger, more thread, an episode or two of procrastination, iron, ironing board, hand needle, thread clippers, and seam ripper.
Happy Sewing!

Very cute! You got such a clean finish. I love using Knit 'n Stable tape, too.
ReplyDeleteThat is so "pro" and looks very polished.
