I am an extremely happy bunny today. Why? you ask. Well I finished the second t-shirt and am really really pleased with it....yay! I'm so relieved to be honest as I have loads of knit fabric and I was panicking a bit that I'd end up doing nothing more than looking at it lovingly.
The hems and the ribbing at the neck were done on the sewing machine and the seams were made using the overlocker. There would be no problem at all making this completely on the sewing machine. My advice would be to use a ballpoint needle and woolly nylon in the bobbin I got my woolly nylon from
Sew Essentials but the
80's Bulk at Empress Mills is the same stuff and comes in millions of colours (slight exageration but there are loads) so that's an idea for the future.
Junior must be getting used to me forcing him to wear my creations. Instead of moaning and grumping at me today he put the T on no problem and promptly started posing. I think he does actually like the top though and it matches his fleece hoodie, so he tells me.

Fab top Nikki and love the fabric.
This is really cute. Did you follow a pattern?
Cute top - I've been making raglan T-shirts for my son as part of KCWC too. Yours is great!
Kate - I used the All-the-rage Raglan by the scientific seamstress which is great and very good value as it runs from age 6/12 months to 10/12 years.
Cook Clean Craft - Just been to have a look at yours they look great, now I've got the hang of it I'll be making loads more.
That's great! I was looking at another cute pattern from Pattern's by Figgy's ... but the one you used is cheaper and has a lot more options. Thanks.
Glad I could help :) be prepared to print out a load of pages but it's well worth it.
I love the scientific seamstress patterns!
That looks totally professional, fantastic!
