This is the third version of Closet Core's Ebony t-shirt pattern and it's my favourite one. There were small subtle changes to the hemline that made it so. I trimmed a small piece from the back after laying the pre-hemmed top on the table and using the front centre length as a guide. As I tried to press the hem up I noticed that the side seam at the hemline could use a bit of trimming as well. That eliminated the hi-low hem that I was trying to avoid. Hi-low hems seem to work on a taller frame than mine. This version, I did not cut two inches shorter as I did on the second version.
The sleeves were kept the same length as the first and second versions, lengthened nine inches. The hems have a one inch allowance and have been finished with a coverstitch machine.
Ebony is a keeper, right after I transfer the hemline changes to the pattern pieces. It's well drafted and a wonderful pattern for beginners, highly recommended.
The fabric is a cotton knit from Northwest / Marshall Fabrics. It is the same print and fabric used for this dress, just a different colour. It was pre-treated with a toss in the wash and dryer before hitting the ironing board for a steam press.
