Nick has requested a scrappy t-shirt so I have printed a pattern I have had for ages and the testing for longer shirts will begin!

I don't want to gender my tees, so I am taking suggestions as to how to describe the styles. I'm at cropped and longer length t-shirts right now.

Here's the fabric finished* for the body of Nick's scrappy tshirt.

* I need to add a strip because I am very bad at maths.

Nick's scrappy tshirt is done! This took absolutely forever. Piecing together longer lengths of fabric just chews through labour hours. I'm going to have to really think about the process, and only use larger sections of fabric (if they can be sourced) to bring the price down for this longer length tee style.

@Natalie I would totally wear this as a dress!

@Natalie Great piece of work! Wondering how it would wash tho? Tshirt fabric is notoriously unstable and shrinks/stretches like it's deliberately out to get you!

@Godfrey642 I've made myself a few t-shirts like this and they've all behaved after washing. I use fabrics with similar properties to minimise weirdness - I've already had to weed out a couple that could play badly with others!
