The pattern looked cute on all the models and it was a good basic t-shirt style with a bit of flare. I had some time on my hands so I decided to give it a try.
I made the first one to wear with my leggings I sewed from my not so desirable fabric that came in my most recent KnitFix. I decided it would make a good fabric to try out a pattern I had never sewed before.
I choose to make the leggings from Go To Patterns. I made view A. I have had this pattern for a while and just never got around to sewing it up. The Ponte De Roma Knits are a good weight for pants as they are a more substantial knit. I don't like see through pants especially leggings. And since I really didn't like the fabric I thought I could at least wear them around the house and they would be comfortable. As it turned out I kind of like the pants. While I would never wear them without a tunic covering my posterior they are very wearable. So the Laundry Day tunic to the rescue! I had this drapey black knit in my stash I think it was leftover from another project. I thought it would work well with this pattern and my ugly leggings. The tunic sewed up quickly probably less than an hour. I love they way it fits. I love the loose flowey bottom and the way the shoulders and sleeves fit. And the neckline fits as well. These are areas I usually have to adjust.
So I made another Laundry Day Tee with some leopard print knit I had in my stash. This time I inadvertently cut two fronts. The pattern is a printout that the front and the back are the same piece and you are supposed to cut your neckline separately as you like. I guess I was in such a hurry that I cut both together. But as it turned out i like the results too. A happy mistake turned into a cute scoop neck back on my tunic.
