T-shirt According to Pi: OOP Vogue 9057

This is the latest t-shirt. I made it because I need a π shirt.  

It's catholic school week and tomorrow we can wear something with numbers. I thought I would throw in a little computer short-cut lesson for the symbol, mixed with my attempt at poetry. I'm not a poet.  


So, let's move on to talking about the pattern. This π-shirt was created with out-of-print (OOP) Vogue 9057, circa 2014. However, this Marcy Tilton design is still available under a new pattern number, Vogue 1733. Not sure why the pattern number change, just happy it's still available because this is a nice basic t-shirt design with hemline options.  

There were some changes made to the design.  I omitted the neckband and used Knit-'N-Stable tape around the neckline instead.  The sleeves and hem were shortened and also treated with Knit-'N-Stable tape before top-stitching.  .  

The fabric is a medium weight cotton knit.  The pi design on the front and the written message on the back were drawn on with my black Spectrum Noir® marker.
