Modified Tees
It was my turn for new clothes today. I needed a few fresh tops to take on vacation. I’m packing jeans, white capris and cream coloured 3/4 length leggings. Here’s top #1. The fabric is an ITY similar to prints available from Distinctive Sewing Supplies, Oakville, Ontario. The pattern is a basic Tee shirt and I added a cut on sleeve, lengthened it and shaped the hem to be high/low. The second one is a stretch lace that’s been overdyed in every colour under the sun in a kind of abstract floral pattern. It’s very lightweight, suitable for a warm climate. I started with the same Tee pattern, but just extended the shoulder by 3 inches and flared the hem out at the sides. It’s tunic length.
The 3rd one is the same pattern, and I found this piece of fabric in my stash.
All 3 were finished with the same rolled edge, and I used a denim blue 12 weight thread in the upper looper.
Not bad for an afternoon’s work.
Great materials and designs. Enjoy your vacation :).
Very nice Yvette. Have a great trip.

Very nice Yvette. Enjoy your vacation. I thought you just got back from one. Is there a pattern number for your t-shirts? I am trying to do t’shirts myself at the moment.
