Laundry Day Tee – Love Notions Pattern

Today’s post is a look back to when I first started sewing for myself and was still learning how to do bands. This band is too wide but I actually like it wider. I went on to make so many of the Laundry Day Tee. This one and the Favourite Tee by Patterns for Pirates are my two go to top patterns. I just do a straight sew of a L to XL top version. This only takes 1 1/2 meters (but you could squeeze it out smaller if you colour blocked). I’ve never tried to do a FBA (Full Bust Adjustment) in this one – I guess you could, but I don’t see it making too much of a difference. I could also probably do a Sway Back Adjustment to get rid of some of the pooling in the back (you can kind of see the wrinkles). To be honest, this is such a quick and easy sew, it seems counterintuitive to make it more complicated – but I probably should start going back through my favs and adjusting them.

The good thing about having tried and true patterns is knowing the amount of time it takes to whip one up. I think this takes me about half an hour from start to finish – sooooo easy!

I don’t even need wine for this – maybe a light spritzer but it takes longer to pour and drink it than it does to make it……..

Next post I’ll do a comparison between the LDT and Fav Tee as they are quite similar in look, but not really 😉

Have a great Thursday!
