Hello Internet Friends!
If you’ve been lurking my instagram you’ll know that a few weeks ago I received a luscious stack of cotton knits from Blackbird Fabrics and I asked for some T-shirt pattern suggestions. My go to pattern for T-shirts the last few years has been the trusty (and ever free!) Plantain tee from Deer and Doe, it’s a very simple T-shirt design with some simple waist shaping that always seems to do the trick! This time around I decided that I wanted to branch out a bit from my go to and see if there were any other patterns that I would also love. I had previously tried the lark tee a few times but ran into issue of it really bunching at the hips and being overly too long, so rather than try to adjust that pattern I asked #SewistsOfInstagram if they had any suggestions. As usual the online sewing community was super helpful and pointed me in the direction of the Union St Tee by Hey June Handmade, which I ultimately decided to purchase and use! I like the fact that it has several neckline options and that the fit was more of a classic tee with minimal shaping made it an attractive option. Sidebar: I didn’t realize I had worn my fluffy slippers for all the photos until after they were all done, but I think it adds to the ‘work from home vibe!’
