This is a very late post (it kinda got stuck in my drafts, because I didn't have any pictures to post)
It seems I never make the deadline for online competitions, perhaps I should have made that my New Year's resolution...complete my sewing projects in time to enter the competitions!
This shirt is a free t-shirt pattern created by
Deer & Doe. They are a
French company that makes lovely patterns, I simply adore their work! When I saw this shirt pattern I knew I had to try it because it looked comfy and loose fitting around the middle.
My inspiration for this shirt actually came from a dress that I saw in a Victoria's Secret catalog. I knew the dress wouldn't work for me
(look at that neckline!) but I liked the color blocking so I copied the idea.
The Plantain pattern is easy to follow and well written, so even a beginner can have successful results.

The sleeves are a little long on me, so I need to shorten the length about an inch on my next Plantain. I also think the heavy knit I selected makes the sleeve sag even more.

The neck wasn't bad sewing and I think I only had a small part in the band where I didn't stretch it enough. The small gather is not noticeable enough to warrant re-sewing the neck bank
(ain't nobody got time for that).

I really love the cut of this shirt, it hides my postpartum middle without making me look frumpy.

I think my closet is calling for a few more Plantain shirts...perhaps with some more color blocking and/or pattern mixing. ;)
