After my success with Deer and Doe's Plantain t-shirt pattern, I immediately cut and sewed another one out of some fun knit fabric that I bought on sale from Girl Charlee: cotton neon "popcorn" knit (sadly no longer available), which is basically a cream colored knit with little nubbins of fluorescent yellow, green, and orangey-pink... a fun non-neutral neutral. Check out the up-close below, complete with cat hair:
I love this fabric, but it has a little bit more stretch in it than the green slub knit I used previously,
which, sadly, resulted in a significantly larger t-shirt. Sigh. Look at this size difference! Sleeves and bodice much looser, shoulder seams sliding off my shoulders, neckline an inch or two lower. Crazy!
I am
hoping I can shrink it in a hot water wash, but man, what a difference a little
stretch makes! Lesson learned!
