Handmade tees can be both trendy & one-of-a-kind, and today's Tutorial Tuesday features this lovely color-blocked Sunny Swing Tee Tutorial With FREE Sewing Pattern from Sara Johansen of The Sara Project. Spring is just around the corner and this flattering blouse is perfect for the transition to warmer weather. Pick up a couple yards of complimentary fabrics from the shop, and start sewing!
This shirt can be sewn in many different fabrics including Cotton Jersey, Cotton Lycra, Ponte de Roma, and Brushed Poly Spandex. In Sara's example she uses a striped Ponte along with a floral Specialty Woven Fabric for the middle piece. A few of my picks from the store:
Happy Sewing!

I was hoping you could answer a question for me...it might be silly..I don't know:) Would it work if the two fabrics I used were different types?..like a cotton jersey and a brushed poly spandex for the center..or vice versa.. do you think it would wear funny?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie! This is a great project to play with mixing different fabric types. In her example, Sara uses a Ponte de Roma fabric for the body and a lightweight woven fabric for the middle piece :) Hope this helps!
