Separates is my word for the month of June, in I need them in my wardrobe. The emphasis of my separates is tops, more and more tops. I went through my pattern stash and pulled out several I wanted to make again, the Plantain Tee was my first choice. I made it before in a long sleeve version.
I love this shirt and I have seen so many on blogs and Instagram which I love too.
On my first one, I was nervous to use the full seam allowances but this time I made it with the correct seam allowance.
I am so thrilled with this top, the fit and shape are wonderful. I used some knit jersey form Mood Fabrics for the top. I cannot even explain how fabulous this fabric it.
Last week I was on a navy sewing kick, this week it is red. I have several red items to make and another project using the leftovers from this top. The fabric just feels to good not to use it again.
This will not be the only time you see a new Plantain tee for me. I know of 2 more I am going to make.

Not much outdoors time for me, it has been raining since the first of the week. While I miss being outside, I do feel like I have had lots of sewing time.
Very pretty fabric. Looks lovely with the white pants.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie, I don't know what I do without white pants in the summer.
DeleteLooks lovely, Lori! I have fabrics designated for summer tops, too, but time for sewing is scarce. I am sorta hoping for rain tomorrow so baseball is cancelled and I can sew! Bad Mommy LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stacy, now the question - did it rain?
DeleteLooks great! I could use some more tops in my closet too!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joen, it really seems like I cannot have too many tops. Especially in summer, I usually end up with some kind of stain on them by the end of summer!

ReplyDeleteOpps Did I not mean to delete my comment. I really like this tee and the concert tee. Your fabric looks fun :) I have not printed the Plantain pattern, but your short sleeve version has changed my mind.
ReplyDeleteEmily comes home today!!! I am busy making food for a family brunch tomorrow. Hope to get pictures at the airport!
Woo - hoo, Emily is home! And yes, you have to make the Plantain, you will love it.
Deleteah lori, i do believe if we ever meet, you need to wear this lovely tshirt and i'll wear its twin leggings. and we'll laugh and laugh at all the confused looks...
ReplyDeleteOH, that is so funny. I hope we do meet someday!
DeleteVery pretty top pairs beautifully with your white pants.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Margaret, white pants are so versatile and they make the red tops pop.
DeleteWhat did we do before the Plantain tee? This one is beautiful, great fit. You look very happy in your pics!
ReplyDeleteOh, Coco, that is a great question! It is an amazing pattern and I have fabric for more.
DeleteWhat a pretty top Lori! The fit is perfect.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Sarah, this one is such a winner.
DeleteIt's been raining a lot here too, but only during the week, and then sunny on the weekends!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jean Margaret, it looks very fresh with your white pants!
Thanks, Kyle, white pants are perfect!
DeleteA plain tee never looked so good! The fit is fabulous! Love how you paired it with the white jeans!

ReplyDeleteThanks, Sonja, you are so nice and such an ego booster!
