I have always avoided sewing t-shirts in the past, and generally avoided the section of the fabric shop containing ‘knits’ because knits are stretchy, and stretchy equals hard to sew!
However, I figured it was about time I gave it a go, and it was so much easier than I had expected I’m planning on making several more, ready for the summer!
I sewed this t-shirt in a yellow fabric that I think was called cotton jersey, with green ribbing around the neckline. The colours were more a coincidence of colours the shop had in stock that looked nice together rather than a deliberate combination – I wasn’t intentionally making it in Australian colours or the colours of Norwich Football Club!
The pattern is the Charlie Tee by Fishsticks Designs. It was very simple to follow. I used the size 5 as we often have a problem with t-shirts being too small to pull over the head, and although is might be a touch long, it will definately last him all summer!
I used my new twin needle to sew most of the hems and seams. It makes a double line of straight stitches on the front with a zigzag on the back which allows the material to stretch without the stitches breaking. 
My ribbon label in the back is a little bit wonky – it must have got pulled to one side as I was sewing the neckline! But it does its job of showing which way it needs to be put on.
And this little man seems happy with it! He’s actually worn it a lot since I made it. He likes Mummy-made clothes 🙂
