Today is a chilly, rainy day – perfect to hole up in the basement and sew. So today I gave the Jalie 2005 t-shirt another go using my Prairie Moon floral buttermilk from Emma One Sock:
I am extremely pleased with how it turned out! The v-neck is a much better style for me and the fabric was a much better choice than my original version. I really had to think about pattern placement on this one, several times I was going to have a giant flower right on my chest – eek! I also tried the sunflower placed right in the center front, which looked bad too.
This time around, I used a serger and woolly nylon thread to attach the neckband edges, so I didn’t have any stretching out in this area. I also didn’t do a blind hem, I thought that it looked too ‘dressy’ considering I was going to use it as a casual top. Now back to sewing…..

I love it! That fabric is awesome–I love the writing on it! I’m going to keep my eye out for emmaonesock to maybe get some more of that one in–it is super cute! Great job on your top!
I really like the fabric you choose. I can see your top looking very nice on you.
Thanks you guys! I love fabric with writing on it too. Fabric.com had a satin version on their site and I almost got it as well. Then I thought people might start to notice that all my clothes look alike!
Stacy,
Boy are you fast! My fabric like that is still sitting in a pile…well then hey alot of the fabric I purchased recently is still sitting in a pile! *LOL* The tee is great! I think you have worked this pattern out to be your own and as far as more than one version is concerned ~ that’s called style, girl! Wearing t-shirts with writing on you that fit and flatter – style!
I like your Prarie Moon fabric made up in the Jalie top. Looks good.
