Tshirt fabric is from Harts Fabric in Santa Cruz and is 100% delightfully soft cotton. I copied a J. Jill shark bite t. This picture shows the the full "bite". Thank you, Sheila, my faithful assistant.
So, I was trying to think how I could not bore you with yet another tshirt post. They are my fav. Thing to wear and get old, so I do make a lot of them.
Anyway, the one new thing about tshirt construction I learned this year (never too old, etc.) was to use Steam a Seam II in the hems. Again, my sewing guru, Sandra Betzina taught me this, recently. It is an incredible product but don't be fooled by look a likes, like this Pellon product That was all Jo Anns carried in PSLucie, FL, where we winter and in spite of its cover ad, this is a sticky, guncky product.
You can order the genuine article from Jo Anns website . Order before you need it, as they are very slow shippers. But, it beats standing in line forever at the store for sure. They have free shipping ever once in a while, too.
