Pattern Description:
9 tops in one OOPs pattern.
Pattern Sizing:
Small: 8 and 10
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?
I've extended this pattern for this dress.
While I haven't used this TNT pattern for a while, it still works.
You can use any knit t-shirt pattern to make this dress. Check the stretch before you cut your fabric - for less stress.
Fabric Used:
Printed ponte. It's a great black and white print from Tessutis.
I've also used black fold over elastic but you could use any size binding in any colour with this fabric print.
Would you sew it again?
Yes. I've been using this TNT for many years. Click here for more pics.
Conclusion:
Now that there are lots of ponte knits around, this pattern has risen to the top of the must use again pile.

Super cute...love it with your red shoes. I just discovered foldover elastic recently and I'm a fan.

The more I see this fabric, the more I love it! It works great with the clean lines of the dress.

Lovely dress, especially in black and white. (I like that colour combo too.) It fits you so beautifully and I bet it is comfy to wear all day. Keep wearing the red shoes with it, they look great.
