Another lesson and another garment completed in the Sewing With Knits course.  This time the scoop neck t-shirt.<\/p>\n

Again my fabric shop only had a limited choice in knit fabrics, so I got this rather dubious piece of green lycra knit from the remnants bin for a few dollars.  Enough for a t-shirt and a skirt so this was ideal for making my first test t-shirt.  Remembering how my sewing machine ate the fabric on this Cowl Neck Knit Dress<\/a>, I wasn't too confident about using any ‘good' material for my first try – and of course I needed to check sizing too.<\/p>\n

The course is excellent and the t-shirt pattern is included in the course.  I was supposed to add clear elastic to stabilise the shoulder seams, but couldn't get any right away, so I went with a piece of regular white elastic for this practice piece and it did make the shoulder seams a little bulky but it still looks good when worn.  I learned how to insert sleeves, and how to make and attach the neckband and got a lovely smooth finish.  All my seams turned out great and all the stretching and pulling getting the t-shirt on and off hasn't popped any of my stitches – thanks to all the tips from the course instructor.  I do prefer a snug fit for my t-shirts as it feels more slimming than having them loose.<\/p>\n
