I like stripes and t-shirts with sleeves in another colour... Another long sleeved t-shirt in my favourite pattern, this time with stripes in blue, yellow, red and white. For me, a little mix of Swedish and French. Children size 108.
A long sleeved shirt in children size 108. Turquoise with printed cute owls and dark brown arms. The pattern is from Ottobre 03/2008: Octopus t-shirt. Originally with short sleeves and in size 98. I have added long sleeves and made it bigger, mostly by just adding centimeters to the length.
This model could be used for swimsuits or underwears depending of the type of fabric. I have made the pattern out of my favourite bikini pants. The seam is a decorative stitch on my sewing machine that could be stretched without breaking. The thread used is Wooly Nylon.
When sewing in fabrics with an extra stretch (like swimwears etc) I like to use this special thread, Wooly nylon. With this in the upper and lower loopers of the Serger machine you get really stretchy seams.
