I know there's some debate out there about whether there are too many indie t-shirt sewing patterns on the market, but I am definitely on Team You Can Never Have Enough T-Shirt Patterns!
I've been curious about Kommatia Patterns after seeing a few fellow sewists (primarily Anya) making and looking fabulous in their patterns. So when I saw that Kommatia Patterns were on sale a few weeks back, I decided to give one a try!
One of their recent releases, a relaxed t-shirt, caught my eye. The shape looked really cute and modern with the deep v-neck, curved hem and turned up cap sleeves.
I eked this t-shirt out of large scraps left over from my Style Arc Alissa dress. Yay for cutting flat and saving fabric! The cupro jersey from Stylish Fabrics was great for this t-shirt... relaxed and drapey and lovely.
Maybe a little bit too drapey? I see my neckline is buckling a bit and my sleeve turn-ups a tad saggy. Perhaps I should have pulled the neck band a little bit tighter when sewing it to account for the super drapey fabric.
I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the pattern and instructions were- quite thorough and lots of notches to help you along!
I cut a size XL for this t-shirt, which worked out great. I love the fit!
Have you tried Kommatia Patterns yet? I'm really pleased with my experience (I've worn this t-shirt several times since making it in May) and am eyeing some of their other offerings!
It is beautiful and fits you perfectly. Thanks for the suggestions regarding very drapey fabric.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret!
DeleteI really like it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathy!
DeleteThis is really cute! I also think there's always room for basics (e.g. tee, jeans, shift dress...) that has some interest. This is cut very nicely and I like the hem and sleeves.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I agree re: interesting basics. I thought this one had some cute details.
DeleteI love the shape of this tee! I'm curious to try their patterns, will add it to my list!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am happy with my experience with their patterns and will keep my eye on them!
DeleteI'm very much a jeans and tshirt kind of girl. This one looks cute and versatile. I looked this one up and am disappointed that it only goes to a size XL ☹️
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's too bad that the size range isn't bigger. I just squeezed into the XL.
DeleteLooks nice
ReplyDeleteThanks, Anne!
DeleteI used to get frustrated trying to account for stretch and ease when sewing with various knits. Now I find it an interesting challenge. Of course, there can be failure, but the making headway on the learning curve is a real high!
ReplyDeleteLove the fit of this shirt on you! I've never heard of this company before, but might have to give them a try now.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely can't have too many tee patterns! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteReally cute.
