Since I couldn't start on the Butterick dress without the pattern, I brought out an oldie-but-goodie — Ottober Woman 02/2007. But I just received an email notice from Club BMV that BMVs are on sale so I'll be placing my order tomorrow and hopefully starting on fitting the dress next weekend. Yay! I knew there would be a sale soon enough.
But back to the Ottobre tee — Basically the same gathered front tee as always, with a neckband instead of a bound neckline, and I added a couple of fabric roses to liven it up. They blend into the print in the photo, but they show nicely in real life. My coverstitch machine was happy to be back at work. I think there was a bit of jealousy brewing over all the time I've spent with the vintage Viking lately. ;-)
I took pics while making the roses and have a little tutorial for them, here. They're very easy!
Gotta love an Ottobre tee! The fabric roses are a nice touch.
ReplyDeleteCute new t-shirt and they are so good for a fabric fix.
ReplyDeleteNice T. I live in Ts and jeans, year around. The t's go from long to short sleeve and the jeans go from long to capris, but they are basically all the same outfit. I am working on summer t's now.
ReplyDeleteGreat top! Thank you for the tutorial on the flowers.
ReplyDeleteCute top!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric roses really spice up that T-shirt!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabric roses! I really want to make an embellished t-shirt. And of course, of ALLLLL the fabric I have in the house, I don't have any fabric appropriate for it! How is that possible? ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial on the roses. I've always wanted to know how to do this. Great looking shirt.
