A plethora of tshirts. . .

Usually, I have only one tshirt pattern as my go-to style of the moment, so I feel privileged to have found three patterns that fit, are interesting, and I like wearing.

The first is Vogue 8962.  Thanks to the vogue patterns magazine and the Jilly be Jolly blog, I found this wonderful tshirt that's almost a tunic.

made it first in stripes and fell in love with it there.  But have subsequently made the View B with a plain grey/silver velour or stretch velvet and a rayon/lycra print and it looks great in both those versions, as well. Next project with this pattern is one of those giant chevron knit patterns.  Wish me luck.

Here's the back view:

The second tshirt pattern is one of S Betzina's today's fit patterns, Vogue 1363.  Not crazy about the neck facing, but used my normal band of 2 inches width and it worked great.  See my post on Port Charlotte s. Betzina seminar for a few pictorial examples.

The third pattern is a Katherine Tilton Butterick 5961.  This is view B with what is called a turtleneck collar in a marvelous Mood fabrics rayon/Lycra knit.  Has really odd armholes, but isn't uncomfortable to wear.

All of these tshirts are a bit longer than I used to use but uber flattering with longish sweaters or vests and even shorter sweaters with bracelet sleeves.  

My two former fav tshirt patterns worn out at this point, so it's nice to make something different.
