The only thi...I agree a tshirt with a zip is silly! The only thing I would add to your mini tutorial is to make the band smaller in circumference to the body it is being attached to (neck/sleeve) so that it stretches onto the body and will lie flat. To do that you PMIQ "pin me in quarters".( I learnt that years ago at Nassos in Morley) Mark the band and the body in quarters and stretch the band evenly to match( on a sleeve half way marks are likley enough). I'm sure you do that instinctively Carolyn!LINDAKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07237449175477077873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-80151098124348116722011-09-22T15:20:07.860+08:002011-09-22T15:20:07.860+08:00To me a t-sirt is a t-shirt, why bother with a zip...To me a t-sirt is a t-shirt, why bother with a zip! I really can't imagine why you would need one if the fit is that big anyway.<br /><br />I love that band finish too. It sits real nice, is easy to do and it's my preferred method on all knit fabrics.<br /><br />I love the way you layered your T with the long sleeve blue one too.Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07142947905050151725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-75664873283165286112011-09-22T08:27:07.972+08:002011-09-22T08:27:07.972+08:00The tee shirt is really nice, but I so love that d...The tee shirt is really nice, but I so love that dress.

I'm a huge fan of my burda 2-2011 long sleeve tee pattern, but I just use a self binding for the neck edge and it's not very neat inside. I'll have to experiment a little more.liza janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16916364137307894200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-62546414997612353432011-09-22T05:36:50.044+08:002011-09-22T05:36:50.044+08:00I agree, tee shirts and zips do not go...I wonder ...I agree, tee shirts and zips do not go...I wonder if it was more for decoration or function as most of the tees I own have a lot of stretch in them.

When goose was smaller that was ALL I did was quick gratifying projects, because there was no time for agonizing over details. It is nice to have some time to take my time (and not have the project take months!) now.<br /><br />I would love to draft / find a great fitting Tshirt pattern for myself as well - but definitely not with a zipper or facings. I don't want to have to do up a back zipper with the attendant contortions when I am wearing a simple tee-shirt. My goodness, what sort of creative genius came up with that? So now I know what pattern NOT to use. And that is a pretty massive adjustment to have to take. hmmmm hmmm. Nice result though. :) I really like the layering under this dress. And your beloved neutrals!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09929299128040779462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374783908598391491.post-11792015562734823402011-09-21T22:06:50.741+08:002011-09-21T22:06:50.741+08:00I agree, a zipper would definitely be overkill!
