I didn't want to pack away the left-over piece of cotton knit from the previous project since there was enough to sew a t-shirt. And the fabric was too beautiful to pack away. This is what became of that left-over piece.
This item has been gifted and well-received. It is sewn with out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 2372, a favourite and much used pattern in this part of the sewing world.
The centre front and back seams were eliminated, cut on the fold, and the sleeves were lengthened. The hems were first finished with Knit 'N Stable tape, serged and top-stitched with an one inch hem.
