The Rowan Tee

I recently had the opportunity to test a pattern for Laura of Titchy Threads.  This was my first time working with her and she is great.  And she has some really great patterns, like her Small Fry Skinnies I made a while back.  Those jeans actually still fit Em and they get worn pretty frequently ( you will see them again in the pictures below)! Her newest pattern is a basic tee, the Rowan Tee, with some really fun options.


I made two Rowan tee's.  The first one is just a basic tee.  I picked up this adorable butterfly knit on super clearance at JoAnn's.  It is really soft and pretty thin, I love it for this tee!



The tee's fit is perfect, it is slightly slimmer than some tee's and it looks great on Em.  I also made one for A and the fit is great on him too.  I love patterns that I can use for both my kids!


The shirt pairs perfectly with her Small Fry Skinnies and the shoes I painted gold!


What really sets this tee apart from other basic tee patterns is all the options. This pattern has two pocket options, a chest pocket and a kangaroo pocket, two sleeve lengths, a hood option, optional hem cuffs for the sleeves and waist, and contrast sleeve stripes that you can add just to the shoulders or to the full length of the sleeve.  


On this shirt, I added the chest pocket, full length sleeve stripes and sleeve hem bands.  Em chose the fabrics for this one, both are from Girl Charlee. I think she's got some great fabric pairing instincts, she must get that from her mom ;)



This pattern s a quick easy sew that is really fun to make.  And the end result is awesome!  She wore this shirt the other day and got a ton of compliments from strangers. 


The Rowan tee will be available this week from Titchy Threads.  You will be able to find it in her shop.
