Carolyn's SFD T-Shirts

I always get asked whether to use the Dress or Shirt Kit for sewing a T-Shirt.  It depends on whether you want a bust dart or not and how tight or loose you want the result to fit.  The dress kit bodice will offer a tighter fit as it has only 2 1/2" ease in the bust line, whereas the shirt is dartless (unless you've added one in for your fuller bust) and gives about 5" - 6" bust ease.  Of course, you'll likely want to size down at least one measurement dot (or more) depending on how stretchy the knit is.

Let's take a look at Carolyn's results.

This one is designed from the Dress Kit and the bust dart has been transferred to the neckline at CF.

Next you'll see a Shirt Kit variation with handmade ruching at the neckline.

And last but certainly not least is an example of a sleeveless tank top, designed from one of the Sure-Fit Designs Tank Top Leaflets.

Well done, Carolyn.  To read Carolyn's comments about fabric choice and the design details she chose, please go to Carolyn's Sewing Room.
