Here is tee #3 for the Pattern Review TNT tee contest. I have #4 complete. It just needs photos. I'm trying to decide whether to whip up one more tonight. I guess I'll see how I feel about it tonight. :-)
The only changes I made to the pattern were to make a wider boat neck and rolled short sleeves. To hold the sleeve roll in place, I just did some stitching at the underarm, and I adjust the outside when I put it on in the morning. The rolls stay fine throughout the day.
The fabric is a very thin rayon knit from Pennie Fabrics in Sarasota (AMAZING fabric store I finally went to check out - well worth a 40+ minute drive). Shoot, I'd probably be willing to do the drive to work there part time. It has narrow yellow and white stripes. Since the fabric was quite sheer, I doubled it for the entire tee. This made a very neat neckline with no need for binding. I just top-stitched it.
I'm wearing the tee with my recent denim skirt. I can't believe it has been a month since I made this skirt. It still feels brand new even though I wear it all the time.
Jenny, cute outfit! Love the yellow on you!
