Holiday t-shirt

As promised -- here are pics of my last-minute (literally!) t-shirt.

Tonight was my neighborhood ASG Christmas party and I realized that I really had nothing that said "holiday" in my wardrobe. As it happens, I had just picked up some crushed velour knit for my stash that was jumping up and down volunteering to be made into a t-shirt so it could go to the party.

I chose a t-shirt darted no bsd FBA draped pattern and changed the neckline to a graceful bateau.

Then paired with my green pants that I made for Novi and the beautiful chatelaine that Laura had made a couple years ago for Puyallup ... a holiday "ensem"-ble was born.

This pic was taken after I had been sitting all evening in the gabardine pants and so a little rumpled --

If you spotted that the shoulder seams are not sitting properly -- good for you! I had modified my chart to improve the neck width measurement but I forgot to take that increase off the shoulder length ... so the computer drafted what I told it ... but I told it my shoulders are broader than they are ... that half inch DOES make a difference!

So when I shorten my shoulder length that will raise the armscye seam and my sleeves will be sitting where they are supposed to be.
