I made a simple long-sleeved t-shirt from some black and white fabric that I purchased from Happy Stop in Oakland, CA. I used Burda pattern 7970, which is a simple scoop neck darted t-shirt. I had to raise the neckline (which is a standard Burda alteration), and do a FBA. When I traced the pattern, I kinda fudged the FBA but the finished garment fit very well, so this is a keeper.
I need more basic, yet dressy-ish tops for work. I'm planning on using this pattern to make other t-shirts out of solid colored fabrics. My stash contains a lot of bright print jerseys or wild prints: I need to round out my work wardrobe with tops in some solid colors, so they will coordinate with some skirts I'm planning on sewing. Sewing solid colors will be a great exercise, because solid color garments will display all the stitching and seams. I have the solid colored knits material in my stash, I just need to sew it.
