Wardrobe By Me Builder Tee

I was on the hunt for the perfect v neck, short sleeved tee for the summer and think I found it in the WBM Builder tee. As its still very chilly here in Hampshire UK, I thought id give the long sleeved version a try, well I absolutely love this and for me it fits just the way I want it to, more are on the way

That looks great and you've nailed the fit. It's fabulous to have a well fitted pattern so I look forward to seeing more of these from you.

Thank you Glenda, its great to get a pattern that just fits without too much messing with it. All I did with this pattern was take it up by 1" and do a 1/4" narrow shoulder adjustment, these are the adjustments I have to make on most patterns

I love that fabric. I have been eyeing that print up on Minerva. Is it the jersey?

Its gorgeous isn't it, no not the jersey it's the ITY. Ive had the jersey before they are both lovely but I would not get this ITY again in this dark colourway as it has a white back to it and when you sew it, you can very slightly see the white in the stitch line. Saying that it sews up lovely, a little bit slippy to sew with but feels gorgeous to wear

That’s interesting, my friend has said the same about Minerva’s POD fabric. All the ones she has ordered have come printed on a white base cloth.

I love Minerva Exclusive fabrics but now they are mostly POD they seem to take far too long to arrive and im really not keen on the White base for the stretchy fabrics
