Another tee.

I know I said my list was a mile long... does anyone else put off sewing projects you "have" to do? I feel like if I must do it I put it off until the last minute. No? Just me? Mkay. Anyways, I pulled out all my knit options for me yesterday before I made the grey shirt and I found an option I LOVED but went with another. Silly, right? So I thought about it all afternoon and night and so in the morning instead of checking my facebook and blogs (such a time sucker for me!) I knocked the tee out in about 30 minutes. The girls are so good in the morning and Jack was watching Curious George, the stars aligned and it all went together quickly! So another easy cap tee in yet another jersey knit from girl charlee. The ribbing is a teal from Joann's.


I was worried it might be a little tween-type of a print, but I like it, so there! Plus, when I saw the teal ribbing with it... Sold! I went with the scoop neck this time, I made it just a tad higher... no real measurements here, ha! Maybe like a 1/2"? So my complaint about the sleeves... totally my fault!! With even just the tiny amount added from binding them made such a difference, now they sit at a nice comfortable length on my shoulder. If the pindot from yesterday wasn't so hard to work with I would go back and bind them.
Ben dearest, if you read my sewing blog (which I highly doubt), for Mother's Day I would loooove a gift certificate to girl charlee . That is all.

  1. How do you keep the knit from rolling up while sewing.

    1. I just pin the crap out of it:) sometimes I use... now I can't think of the name for it... but it is interfacing for knit. I will cut it real thin and fuse it to the wrong side or I have heard of people using spray starch.
