Jalie t-shirt {Blogtoberfest day 22} If you look carefully, this blog is littered with evidence of unequal numbers of project starts and project finishes. Put bluntly: my craft completion rate is slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter. Thankfully a lack of summer attire and a patch of warm weather have forced my hand a little on the "finishing" bit.

This ladies' top was sewn yesterday. I used Jalie pattern #2005. Its a popular t-shirt pattern with variations on sleeve length (3/4 and short) and necklines (V, scoop and boat). My version has the V-neck and short sleeves and is made up in a knit that I purchased from Spotlight a while back. The pattern is great - I will definitely make more tees from this.

However, I must not mislead you into thinking that this was a project started and finished in a single day. Source: Jalie patterns

You see, Jalie #2005 is out-of-print pattern - available only as a download. At USD$8.99 its very reasonably priced and delivered as quickly as you can press Add to cart and Purchase. But there are some 72 pages to print and tape together.

And according to records it took me more than 6 months to complete the sticky taping. I don't think paper-craft is really my thing, do you?. My review of this pattern can be found at PatternReview.com Filed under: Blogtoberfest, Sewing
