I took the "pledge" to sew from my stash. Yesterday, sidetracked from the projects that need to be started or completed, I wanted to make up a "nice T-shirt" to wear with slacks to work. I need some with 3/4 length sleeves. In looking for a burgandy velour that I was sure I purchased at the end of last season, I found things I didn't remember--dark turquoise sweater knit, purple (I love purple) soft knit, dark wine stretch velvet, and red 'crinkle' knit that was "crinkled and fused" to a interlock type backing. So, shopping the stash was both surprising and profitable!
I pulled out the Today's fit Vogue (is the number 8051?). Two T-s on that one, the crossover (which I made several months ago) and the "regular" T. I chose the regular T for the red crinkle. Only change in the (size D) pattern was to lower bust point 1" and add an additional 5/8" at the hip area. Got it serged up in no time. I like the way it fits. I didn't set up cover stitch machine last evening so it still needs sleeve hems and final hemming. I'll get a pic up when it is really finished.
I like this pattern, I think I will be using it often.
