At glacial pace

DSC_1088

A long sleeved tee shouldn’t be sewn at a glacial pace, but this one was, without any real reason.  I cut this project out 12 months ago and it wasn’t sewn up straight away and then somehow forgotten until winter arrived in Melbourne a few months ago!

This is Pattern Fantastique’s Glacial Tee/Skivvy and it’s my third version (see v1 & v2) and far from my last.  It’s a great layering piece for me.

What sets this pattern apart from the rest is it’s broader shoulder line and sculpted armhole. I also like the curved hemline, although it takes some patience to press it into place before hemming.

I do like a neat jersey neckline and matching side seam stripes. I treat stripe matching as a competitive sport, so I machine basted these before overlocking the side seams together.

I sewed a size 10, in the long length (it’s the middle of three lengths) with bracelet length sleeves.  I performed my usual forward shoulder adjustment and graded out the waist half a size.

My two previous versions get loads of wear, and I predict this one will too.
