Elephant shirt

Back when there was less of me to love I made a shirt from It's Always Autumn that was free on her website.  Actually, I made about 5 of them in various ways.  It was the perfect size.  In the last few years I've been gaining girth so I just estimated how much I needed to add to make the shirt fit me.  (Hint: it was a lot) Because this tahirt has kimono sleeves it takes me about 30 minutes to cut it out and sew it.  All the win!  The fabric is from Girl Charlee.  It's very thin, pills easily, and stretches out ridiculously.  But I love the print and style.  I just k ow it's not going to last longer than one summer.

Caahmerette concord

I love this pattern! It is a plain t-shirt pattern with a built in FBA according to your cup size!  Gloria!  I've made about 5 of these shirts.  The pattern comes with a lot of options but I like the plain tees.  The fabric is from Fabric dot com and it's some kind of bamboo rayon.  It's slick and light but drapey. It was a pain to see- you can see my topstitching difficulty!
