Patterns for short sleeve shirts

It's been in the 80's F here for the last several days.  i love making and wearing cotton/Lycra tshirts with linen crops or shorts to stay cool.  But, the Tilton sisters and others make mostly longer sleeve tshirt patterns.

How to adapt?  I decided to take a bunch of ready made tshirts from my fav people, Chicos and J. Jill and copy them .

First up is a little shirt that Chicos keeps changing a bit every year, the v- neck T.

Not real crazy about the peach color on this shirt, but loved the teal and the style.  

Made my version in a very soft 100% cotton from Harts fabrics.  Wore it yesterday with white linen cuffed shorts from J. Jill, hence the wrinkles. . . 

Secondly, I copied this J Jill shirt because of the easy sew.

It has a bias strip binding that folds under, like I've seen on Eileen Fishers garments, both knit and woven.

Great when the print is big   Here's one version, in a Dakota print rayon knit (I love these)

Worked with some teal blue linen crop pants that usually are hard to match 

Last but not least, another Dakota print version

With killer green linen shorts and my new Keens,I was a sight to behold!

My friend, Genie, made me get them.  Made of two cords an a heavenly comfortable sole.
