Boxy T-shirt

Hi, I made a new boxy t-shirt based on Burdastyle pattern and I wore it last weekend. I love it, so cozy and perfect for hot weather. The fabric was a meter of remnant animal print that I found during our trip to Taipei last year.
The pattern suggested to use 1.35 meters of fabric but as I had 1 meter only, I made the sleeves shorter and also shorten the t-shirt length just below my waistline.

Pattern: Burdastyle Boxy T-shirt 04/2019 - 108 size 36, and I made a few modifications due to  limited of fabric

• I shorten the length a little, just below my waistline. 
• Made the sleeve smaller.
• And added two darts on the backside because the final t-shirt was too big for my liking.

The sewing process was quick and easy, the neckline finished with neckband piece sewn along the neckline, I clipped the curve area, folded and pinned to the inner neckline. Then carefully sewed/top-stitched.

I folded and sewed the sleeve on the bodice and sewed the side of the t-shirt. The last part was sewing the hem 1.5 cm.

I tried the t-shirt and found out that the back was too big for my liking. So I sewed two darts 3 cm wide (each) and happy with the final look.

I love this new top and I wore it with rtw tank top in black underneath. I paired with my self-drafted skirt with big side pockets in denim fabric.
I made the skirt two years ago and I'm planning to make one more with little modification. I'd love to  skip the side pockets and make it in a longer length 😊

We visited the local garden last weekend and so lovely to see the lotus flower blooming beautifully and decided to share some pictures with you.

Until next...
