I’ve been sewing up a storm – all the fabric bought from Fabworks has been made up! This is the last piece, a really nice jersey, although I’d call it a knit rather. I had thought it would make a fab tee, loved the colours and digital type print. When it arrived I realised it was thicker and weightier than I had pictured. I’ve still made a tee-shirt, but this will be more of a cooler weather tee than a hot weather one! I am most definitely counting it towards part of my Sew Seasonal Wardrobe.
I reverted to the Maria Denmark Birgitte tee, v-neck with three quarter sleeves. These particular sleeves are 4cm shorter than the pattern and 3cm narrower at the cuff. I find the pattern as drafted is a little too wide at the cuff, and I prefer them a little shorter too. I really like this pattern as a quick make, the fit works for me.
I am sorry the fabric isn’t softer and drapier than I imagined. However, if you were thinking of making a cardi, in particular the Wendy Ward Longley cardi, you could definitely use this!
This summer looks like it will be made mostly in blue and white, which is no bad thing. My colours in general tend to be blue, black, grey, white and a bit of beige/camel/tan thrown in for warmth. They all go together well and remain pretty classic. I know some people will think it’s all a bit boring, but I like it! 🙂

That fabric is gorgeous and I can imagine this will be in constant rotation.
Thank you, and I certainly hope so! 🙂
I love a blue and white palette. Sew what you like to wear and what works! Great tee!
Thank you Margo 🙂 As long as we’re happy with our own stuff!
Full agreement with Margo & Fadanista on this one, Anne! How long ago did you find the fabric?
Cheers! I bought it a couple of weekends ago, so it should still be in the store. 😉
Thank you!
love it!!! ..the 3/4 is perfect!! your summer wardrobe is desirable!!
Thank you my dear Sheri! I have more…. 🙂
It’s not boring it’s perfect – I got a really ‘boring’ delivery last week – all solid colours – but they’re make garments that I’ll wear much more that all the bright prints in my stash 😃
I love solids! My idea of colour blocking is one colour on top, and another on the bottom! 🙂
I love your treatment of the neckline, especially at the CF. Gorgeous, custom-made tee!
Thanks Tia, only had to do it once this time! Unpicking on this fabric wouldn’t be an easy job! 🙂
Neckband is so neat – nice job!
Thank you 🙂 I stiitched it on with the machine first, then used the overlocker, it’s made for a much better finish.
I have fabric envy – I love the texture and colors and your neck band is enviable too. Great make
thank you very much 🙂
Apart from the fact that is perfectly sewn, the fabric is gorgeous. I’m a big fan of the blue and white palette too!
It seems that blue and white are going to be my main colours this summer! Can’t go wrong with them, really!
Your top is lovely, and your necklace is gorgeous.
Thank you Lynne 🙂
