Basic dolman sleeve T shirt, only a lil wonky (lemmy.nz)

Instead of working on the 6 other projects on the craft table, I started a new one of a comfy basic T shirt. Straight seams on serger, neckline on regular machine. If I had any common sense, I'd just do a fold-over neckline, but no, I had to do the lil collar, with a scrap of bias tape to hide my sins (forgot to turn the collar so the back seam was on the inside). Also need to tack down a few points where my knit fabric wiggled away from under the seam.

I love my dolman tees. I do use a pattern that is supposed to have longer tacked-on sleeves but I skip them. Honestly I’ve probably made 10 or so and that’s what I prefer to wear so I keep making them in different colors. Maybe someday I’ll have enough to go two weeks without doing laundry!
