This is really cute and I think I'll be able to sew this with your great instructions. :)
ReplyDeleteIf I want the tshirt smaller, could I just sew it up without adding the seam allowance?
ReplyDeleteno, only adjust the width.
DeleteThanks so much! Your instructions are super - this was the first thing I've sewn in over a decade, and it turned out perfect. Well, I adjusted the width for my size 6er and forgot to adjust the length, but she says she likes it that way :)
