It's been almost half a year since I last sewed a garment. I love sewing for the warm weather and I had so many ideas for sundresses and light blouses, but I just lacked the motivation this summer. One of the reasons - I painted by numbers, I must have spent dozens of hours or more painting a picture yet to be framed and hung.
And then I studied German, went for hikes and walks and cooked - I really got into cooking this year.
The idea is nothing revolutionary, such T-shirts were very popular a decade ago and I find them a cute way to whip a project, when you have big chunks of remnant fabric.
I am especially proud of my double color neckline, I find that it really brings the whole T-shirt together, deepening the illusion of a short sleeved T-shirt over a long-sleeved one.
The pattern is a true-and tried Burda T-shirt 6820, based on which I've made plenty of blouses in all sorts of variations, lengths and mesh-ups. My mods for this particular T-shirt - I added some width to the front and the back of the 36 size, as I didn't want the T-shirt too fit, I shortened the body above and below the waist line and I raised the neckline significantly, using the mod I did for Gaby last year.
I hope this quick T-shirt will blow some steam into my sewing mojo and there will not be another six months pause before my next sewing project.
