T shirts and trousers don't count. I use the same patterns for these garments all the time and this works for me.kbencohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00885068563358776147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25256976.post-38059442652811457132012-01-22T20:52:34.618+10:002012-01-22T20:52:34.618+10:00Great tees - love the yellow one.

I'm a bit all over the place with patterns, if I find one I really like I'll make it over and over and then I need a change so I'll try a few different ones. I have some really lovely patterns in my stash that for one reason or another I haven't made up so I'm making a bit of an effort to sew them at the moment.Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01545965949294513334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25256976.post-86101536612164418762012-01-22T12:30:14.939+10:002012-01-22T12:30:14.939+10:00That is a great wardrobe of tees you have created....That is a great wardrobe of tees you have created. If I love a pattern, I often make it again straight away. It is so much easier and quicker the second time.

Having young children only gives you a limited time to sew so you need to know you will get what you need.<br />My fave is the squiggles one!Summer Flieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17092393256871735567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25256976.post-39990354319863037072012-01-17T03:15:08.090+10:002012-01-17T03:15:08.090+10:00I really like the scoop neck, too, especially with...I really like the scoop neck, too, especially with the gathers.<br /><br />With the basics, I tend to reuse patterns I already know will work.

I have used the tee in New Look 6735 a LOT. Also since I use sewing machine, overlocker and coverhem it just makes sense to do a few garments with the same colour thread, before I need to rethread them all for the next piece.SewRuthiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277062926597842242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25256976.post-24251542827687845032012-01-15T17:54:52.207+10:002012-01-15T17:54:52.207+10:00Definitely love that scoop neck on you!Definitely love that scoop neck on you!willow and moohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03706747344614162944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25256976.post-13367335499477703172012-01-15T17:38:55.760+10:002012-01-15T17:38:55.760+10:00" a nigel no friends?" - I have never h..." a nigel no friends?" - I have never heard that expression but it is a great one so I will have to adopt it immediately - well you and I are poles apart of the sewing the same thing continuum.
