今年もよろしくお願いします。
クリスマス休暇からかなりぐうたらが続き、しばらくテレビばっかり見てました。
でもクリスマス前は頑張って、オットにロンT作りました。
型紙は私の好きなカナダのJalie。ちなみに布は以前タンクトップワンピースを作った余り。
I have been a bit lazy since the Christmas holiday and been watching NetFlix a lot.
But I did work hard before Christmas and made a long sleeve T-shirt for the Man of the House.
It was actually finished on Christmas day so I gave it to him as a Christmas present. Our Christmas shirt tradition begins! (if I don't forget next year)
The pattern is Jalie 2918, men's T-shirt pattern. I actually bought a bunch of Jalie patterns at once to qualify for free shipping. I wanted paper patterns for my patterns, but I opted for PDF patterns for men's patterns (I also bought Jalie 2212).
Anyway, the pattern. I made the simple long sleeve shirt.
I cut a size U.
Shorten both bodice and sleeves by 1 inch. (He's 5'7")
I compared with the Strathcona I made for him before and noticed that the armhole was lower than my modified Strathcona (I raised the armhole quite a bit on Strathcona).
But I ignored it, and sewed up bodice and sleeve and tried it on him.
Well, as I suspected, MOTH did not like the fit of the armpit area.
So I raised the armhole a little over 1 inch by using the armhole of size Q (just swiveled it to hit the width of size U chest). Then I also used the size Q shoulder curve for sleeves.
The fabric is rayon jersey, left-over from my Jalie 3024.
Other than a request to make the sleeves a tad shorter, MOTH gave me an overall OK for the fit.
Looking a the photo, though, I'm thinking the shoulder may be too wide? I guess he is like me, a very rectangular shape.
You know what. I like making clothes for men. The shape is much simpler than women and I can do the fitting on somebody else, which is waaay easier than doing the fitting on myself (especially without a dress form). More men's T-shirts to come in the future.
