A plain T Shirt to go with the dinosaur romper I made a few weeks ago, made from an old adults T Shirt. I'm using Burda 9408, it's a pattern I've used loads of times before but I'm really struggling to get the neckline to look just right. This time I'm trying omitting the snaps and using a super stretchy fabric.
Tools and Materials:
Fabric - an old T Shirt
I pinned the front and back neckbands in place.
Sewed, over locked and pressed.
Then I stitched the shoulder seams and realised my mistake. I should have stitched the shoulder seams THEN sewn the neckband in place. Grrr stupid rookie error!!
It's not hugely noticeable so I carried on. Hopefully my sewing skills will improve by the time my children are old enough to notice little mistakes like this!! I certainly thought my other was a genius with a sewing machine as I was growing up but now I can spot some mistakes in her earlier work, not many to be fair.
I stitched the sleeve and side seams in one. I'm not sure if the patterns calls for that but it's my favourite method for a neat finish.
I also top stitched the neckband with a twin needle for a stretchy seam. It holds the back of the seam in place and finishes of the garment.
I think the colour's go together quite well. Little Pickle will look adorable in this, he just needs to grow a bit more first.

Here are some of my previous sews with this pattern.
It's had quite a bit of use over the years!
