Jalie 2212 Men's Pull-Over Shirt #2

珍しく、オットの服を作りました。実は男物の服を作るの結構好き。ダーツとかないから。
前にフリースで作ったのとまったく同じです。
今回は裏がフリースなレーヨン・ポリエステルの混紡ニットで。

I made a half-zip pull-over top for the Man of the House. The pattern is Jalie 2212. I made a fleece version last year and he actually wore it often so made another one. Straight size T and no adjustments.

The fabric is a rayon/poly/Lycra blend knit with fleecy back. The below photo looks gray but it is dark blue.

I like how all the pattern pieces fit in the fabric without a lot of waste.

I had salvaged a few zippers from a fanny pack I had a few years ago, and the salvaged zipper along with the zipper pull was perfect for this project.

There is a lot of top stitching to keep the seam allowances down on this shirt. I was using the chain stitch on my coverstich machine but I was a bit worried about fabric stretching out under the pressor foot so I laid long pieces of my pattern paper scraps (medical exam table paper) under the fabric to stabilize.

I attached a lingerie elastic around the neck. My stitching wasn't perfect and I did not have a thread that matched the color of the elastic so my not-so-perfect stitching line is pretty obvious but oh well.

When I gave this to MOTH, he was like "Isn't this a bit grandpa-y?" not realizing it's the exact same one as the gray top he frequently wears... Men... He has worn it once (hence the picture) so far. Well, we shall see if he will wear it more as the weather cools.

MOTH and I are pretty much the same size so I tried it on, too, and I kind of like it. The sleeves are too long on me, but other than that, it fit me well. I will make one for myself in the future.
