This a mustard coloured tee I made a few weeks ago. Looked good on Rosie but I was not too happy when after I had worn it once. So I decided to change a couple of things.
It was too plain and it felt more like a Fall colour. So I took it all apart and made this one. 
I had a small amount of a crimped woven fabric which I pressed out the crimping. The colours matched really well. I was able to cut it out on an approx 20% bias which went well around the neck line. The sleeves were a bit more of a challenge but I did manage it in the end.The sleeves end at the elbow and after the 3rd attempt, the sleeve now moves easily when I bend my arm. I not totally happy with the sleeve and front . It looks great on Rosie but I put it on, I get some wrinkles where the sleeve meets the front . I think I need to adjust the armsycle on the front and reduce it. Now I will have to make a skirt to go with the Fall colour. Fabric store here I come!
That really is a good match. Don't you love an excuse to hit the fabric store! I think they said last week that the new fabrics are coming in this week, so hopefully you get a good selection to choose from.
