AnneM said... I don't remember this pattern. I am also interested in t-shirt reviews, since I need to start making some for myself! Good fit information. 1/27/04 11:19 AM
gabrielle said... I like this pattern, too. I made the long-sleeve version once; it was really snug through the forearm, and I have scrawny chicken arms. 1/27/04 1:07 PM
Skymom said... I've used this pattern a number of times for a t-shirt, and like it quite a lot. I happen to have pretty thin arms, and the sleeves are very fitted on me, too--I think that's the desired style here. One thing I should change (but have been either to lazy or too forgetful to do) is the shape of the neck. I think the back neck is too low, at least for a forward-neck person who slouches at a computer all day. I'd raise the back neckline an inch, and maybe lower the front neckline, and in fact probably move the shoulder seam forward a bit as well. 1/27/04 1:09 PM
Oopsy-Daisy! said... Looks like a great basic pattern - I like the view with the zipper. Has anyone made that one yet? 1/27/04 2:03 PM
Gigi Louis said... Great top, Jennifer! I have used this pattern and found the sleeves too snug as well. 1/27/04 2:47 PM
Hilary said... I really like this new version- did you get a hair cut? it looks really good if so (and if not-lol!) Thanks for sharing the newest shirt! 10/18/04 5:11 PM
Sherril Miller said... I have been trying to decide if I want to use this pattern as I have the paper all cut out and altered, but I have been so successful with KS 2900 and the close-fitting description scares me. Yours looks great and I like the length on you. 10/18/04 5:16 PM
Aless said... Thanks so much Jennifer for this review.The photo is fantastic for me,as I see that we are of a similar shape,including the square shoulders.As I now have a coverstitch machine, I am going to make my T-shirts etc for the first time in many years, and having a good pattern has been worrying me. 2/15/06 8:28 PM
