Have you ever lost your sew-jo? Mine has faded since I have been so busy moving and getting my son ready for big school! He is my oldest and I had no idea it was so much work to get a kiddo ready for pre-k at public school. I know it would probably be easier if he didn't wear a uniform and have to have all elastic waist navy or khaki bottoms. I also have been volunteered to be room mom. He only has 6 other kids in his class. All boys! Bless his teacher!
I did manage to make myself a wonder sweet tee top by patterns for pirates! The Sweet Tee fits XXS to 3X. It has options for long, 3/4, and short sleeves, banded sleeves, banded bottom, curved bottom, straight bottom, and even dress length. If that wasn't enough there is also two neckband options! I wanted something quick to test the fit of the pattern on my body. I chose a short sleeve, t-shirt neckband, and a curved bottom. It is perfect! And exactly what I wanted! I found this beautiful blush pink and lace stripe knit on clearance at Joanns last spring.
What is so great about Patterns for Pirates is that the owner Judy has these awesome tutorials on her blog for making petite and tall adjustments! I am only about 5'2! I followed the petite adjustment by taking a half inch out of two places. I should have taken a bit more according to the guidelines in the tutorial but I have an average torso but short legs. Which is the beauty of sewing my own clothes, I can adjust patterns to fit me correctly! I also blended sizes together to fit my mom gut. This shirt fits perfectly! Patterns for Pirates has out done themselves again!! I can't wait to have a fall wardrobe of pattern for pirate clothes!
