Tiered Circle Sleeve Tee

I saw this tee in Real Simple over the summer, and I liked the sleeves. They were pretty and not really me. I drafted the pattern using the techniques I learned here. I have the original 198-something version, but the cool thing about fashion, is that it all comes 'round again.

PS I knew that the fabric for this had to have a nice drape, and usually knits aren't stand-out drapers. So when I found a white drapey fabric at Hancock's, I thought "wow. that would be awesome for that yellow shirt I want to make. Huh. Too bad I wouldn't like it in white."  And then it so happens I was also buying another thicker white knit for a doll I was making my gal, and since they didn't have flesh colored, I  picked up some dye to MAKE her fleshy. HELLO. So of COURSE the obvious answer was to dye my perfect drapey white fabric for the yellow shirt that I actually decided to make teal instead. Nice.

  • About Me

    Technically, I learned how to sew in my 4-H sewing class beginning at age 12. I sewed an emerald green velvet vest with plastic gold buttons, and matching green plaid knee shorts. That was probably my shining moment, but you will find all my subsequent endeavors here. My name is Miriam, but—if you’re nice—you can call me Mim.
