...this pattern has been in my stash for eons. I think it was one of the first patterns that I started experimenting with when my interest in sewing was first rekindled. It's a very simple pattern (I was always interested in the tee shirt in particular - and still am). It's been quite a while since I've made this tee, and even though it's an older pattern, I think it has good bones. Since I'm always on the lookout for "THE" great fitting tee I've pulled it out once again.
For some reason I'm loving ruffles and flounces this year, so I added a full circle flounce to the short sleeved version (the pattern has the cutest little cap sleeve. This was my very first time drafting a circle if you can believe that. I was a little scared to give it a try and had to tell myself - go ahead and cut girl, it's only fabric. I'm still have to work on the "it's only fabric" part though.
I like the results and I'm sure this it won't be my last with the circle thingy. I was inspired by
Diane at Dream.Cut.Sew and the beautiful flounced top that she created. Let's see just how many other ruffled or flounced creations show up for me this summer.
On another note I've only made one tiny date in my #2018 Make Nine challenge - that being Burda 6428 knit top, but still plan to work on it little by little. I made one pattern change in my pattern grid. I eliminated Vogue 8745 and substituted the Closet Case Pattern Kalle crop top.

March is extremely busy for me, but hopefully I'll be able to start on a new project this weekend. In the meantime, Happy Sewing Week to you!!!
