Stash Busting: Knit Top / OOP Simplicity 2372

Another request for a cotton knit t-shirt came across the cutting table.  Since this project became a go-to item, I am revisiting the pattern, out-of-print (OOP) Simplicity 2372.  

OOP Simplicity 2372 belongs in the hall of fame for sewing patterns as it's been a much-loved pattern over the years.  This is a well-drafted pattern and an easy project to sew.  The pleats on the sleeve and front are quite nice.  The pleats are difficult to make out with this fabric in this photo.  

The blue and white printed fabric is a 97% cotton and 3% spandex knit that I found in the discount section at Fabricland.  It was pre-treated with a wash cycle and dried in the dryer.
