tissue knit sloppy josephine

pattern / papercut patterns sloppy josephine tee fabric /  dark navy tissue knit , the fabric store, (bris) i'm kinda raglan everything at the moment. i love the look. This tee is the one I reach for everyday. with a cute skirt, shorts, jeans. It's pretty easy to do life in it. the first of many! a few notes i cut a size small tissue knits. yeah there were a few choice words. I found Jen's suggestions in her tissue knit hemlock tutorial great (especially for the neck band). I staystitched the neckline to avoid too much stretch. Next time I will take ?3cm out of the centre front & back seams. This top does start to fall off my shoulders (which is just a personal preference that I'd prefer it not to). I try & wear a sports bra underneath because bra straps are visible. (also, a bit see through?) the sleeves: I JUST LOVE THEM. they really are the perfect length & the band is a great touch. This was my first knit make with my new overlock

My sleeveless Archer... Third version! This has a be a TNT now!? Pattern: Grainline Studio Archer shirt, View A, sleeveless mod. Fabric: 100% cotton navy/white gingham, spotlight. I have had this lovely 100% cotton gingham (plaid? What's the difference?). I have quite a bit of it, always planning for a winter long-sleeve archer, but then decided to sneak in a sleeveless version too.  Pretty similar to my previous makes , but this time Used view A- the straight back. Lengthened & curved the hem a bit more (this is a great top to throw on over leggings & I wanted the extra length. Stripe matching was... Mostly successful. I think next time ill do a bias button front just to give myself less of a headache! Viva la Archer!
