Toileandtrouble's entry
A t-shirt using Vogue 8151. Today's Fit, by Sandra Betzina, looks as if it is now OOP, but Amazon seem to have some. The fabric is a fun print from Fabworks. Not 100% cotton but it feels nice.
I made version B. Inside, they show an option to add ties at the neck, which I did. The dart was dropped 2cm, next time might take it 1cm lower.
Got a bit confused with the seam allowances because I wanted to do it mostly on the overlocker directly.
The fiddly part was getting my owls in a line. Anyone who has tried ducks in a row ought to try this. I wanted to leave a plain edge below a row of upright owls. Fair bit of time moving the fold over to one side to leave a wide piece to cut out the sleeves, matching the back lines to the front at the bottom, and choosing the place to position the owls on the sleeves. Actual construction was pretty quick, apart from the hemming. Next time I will shorten the neck band a tad, think the seam allowance was not trimmed enough, also the ties seem too narrow for my taste and a bit far apart. Otherwise, I am pretty pleased, especially the fitting given by the dart.
Photo will be here later.
Yes, well, there is now a photo on my new tablet but I have no idea how to get it from there to post it. I will return...

This is not the photo from my tablet, which is still a mystery, but an emergency one, from a phone.
Foreshortened, but better than nothing.
