So, I Had this fab idea to make myself a cute shirt made of Jersey knit for my girlfriends bridal shower. I chose the pattern because it was loose fit and I will have JUST had a baby. I went with gray cause I thought I could spice it up with some colored jewelry.
My project began, cut out the pattern, the fabric started to piece it together and well….. Yea knit is a lot harder to sew than I thought. So here is the final product:
I used a contrasting thread for fun, but next time I would use matching thread. The neck line where there is a slight gather, I would like to have had more gather. If I were to make this shirt again, I would widen that portion of the pattern give it more gather.
The other thing I would change in the arm hole finish. It called to be pressed over. I will double it over next time so the edge doesn’t look so un-finished.
I do love though, how the bottom turned out! Depending on how I want to wear the shirt, I can pull off a bubble top look and I am WAY excited about that! Sorry, no photos of me in it. When I loose the 9 month preggo belly, I may amend the post. 
After the shirt I decided to do some research on sewing with knits and I found a great blog called Handmaiden, with awesome tips that I for sure will be trying next time. If you want to take a look its at: http://handmaiden.typepad.com/handmaiden/2009/02/new-look-pattern.html
