Last fall I used this pattern to make two tshirts. They turned out to be my most wear cloth last winter. What can I say, New England weather calls for some kind of t shirt top almost everyday.

I got several new pieces of silk knits fabric over the past few months. By several I mean 10 pieces!!! I decided to make some new tops for the spring. This tshirt is such a quick make. I cut the fabric on Friday night, and by Saturday night, I already wear it to friends house. IMG_3534

I usually don’t wear cloth with lots of color, however I feel the color of both tops are not too much. I wear these top with black Yoga pants or jeans at home. I also wear them to work with my skirt. They are both very versatile as good wardrobe basics.

The fabrics are silk knits. Before cutting I threw them in the washer and dryer to pre-shrink it. I love silk but there is no way I can handle the tedious dry clean and maintenance. The fabrics handled the washer and dryer well. There is minimum color lost.

Silk knits is not the easiest fabric to sew. I serged a 1/4 inch transparent elastics along the shoulder seams and neck seam to re-enforce the seam. I learned this technique from Nancy Zieman’s youtube video for sewing with knits. The clear elastics help the shoulder and neck line keep their shape. I top stitched all seams with my cover stitch machine. I have had the cover stitch machine for about 6 months. It made all my knits cloth finish so much more professional.

I snapped a few photos yesterday:

Both tops are so comfortable I even use them as pajamas. Did I mention that I bought 10 pieces of new fabric recently? I plan to make at least 3 more tops using this pattern for my spring wardrobe. As I said, New England calls for long sleeve top all year around.

Thanks and have a great day.

Best

我要是有你的手藝就開心了,自己做, tailored to one's own size 才是穿衣的最高境界 -pe07- 給 pe07 發送悄悄話 pe07 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 04/06/2017 postreply 18:30:17

我夢想就是可以DIY衣服,可是手太笨。羨慕樓主,隻是這兩條SHIRTS 的顏色花紋不大適合亞洲人。範圖裏那些很好看的。 -情穆- 給 情穆 發送悄悄話 (0 bytes) () 04/06/2017 postreply 22:18:39

謝謝。我也是慢慢學習。 -emplid- 給 emplid 發送悄悄話 emplid 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 04/07/2017 postreply 04:45:45

做的真好。我也喜歡縫紉。不過基本都是給孩子們做。自己能買就買了。成人裝更有意思。買了幾個vogue 紙樣,還沒做呢。 -Windy2009- 給 Windy2009 發送悄悄話 Windy2009 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 04/07/2017 postreply 04:44:23

真棒。我是孩子都不要穿我做的,所以隻能自己做小白鼠。 -emplid- 給 emplid 發送悄悄話 emplid 的博客首頁 (0 bytes) () 04/07/2017 postreply 04:46:29
