AI6YR BenWore out a T-shirt (threadbare!), so picked up a bargain $2 replacement at the thrift store. Custom tailored it today. Before photo. #sewing
Using a T-shirt which I really like the fit, figured out where I needed to take in the edges and bottom. They are labeled as the same size (Large)!! #sewing
Marked the edges with chalk. Note:I probably should have ironed them both first, I had to rip and readadjust the seams because these markings were slightly too tight. #sewing
Quick run through the old sewing machine (not shown), and I had to adjust it a bit, but there we go .. (I prefer a slightly tighter fit on the shirt, but that definitely is a negative as middle-age gut expansion occurs lol.) Before adjustment it was too far into "muscle shirt" territory lol. #sewing
Femme Malheureuse@ai6yr The plant trim you added is novel. LOL
@ai6yr Your color matching game is top notch! If only I could do that when painting.
NilaJones@NilaJones Thanks!
ProScience 🇪🇺Well done!
As for the sizing, three remarks you will most likely know but just in case:
1—manufacturers are free to do whatever they want, they aren't bound to any existing size charts.
2—Different knits can have different amounts of stretch, which they'll adjust the pattern dimensions for.
3—Design ease is a thing: Much more in women's clothing but also in menswear.
Enjoy your new t-shirt!
