Burda 04-2009 #112 Raglan T-shirt

Well, it's official. I'm not liking this fabric in any form. When I used it for this pleated top a while ago, I thought it was just too thin for that pattern. This is a simple top and it should work okay for this. It's still too thin. I'm not a big fan. It's the bamboo/lycra from Fabric.com. I know they are a sponsor but I have to be truthful to you, readers. I won't be buying more and I'll probably get rid of the two yards of blue I bought.

I do really like the embroidery I put on the front. It's tone-on-tone so it's pretty hard to see.


The top fits well but it's just too thin. That, and wrinkly. I can't believe how wrinkly it is.



Here's a close-up of the embroidery. It's, of course, from Urban Threads. They are having a sale right now if you are interested. This is one of the designs that is on sale. Sale ends at the end of this month.

Overall, the pattern fits nicely but the fabric is blahhhhh. ETA for Gail: The original pattern has no neckband. They just have you fold over and stitch. For reference, this band was 2.5" wide originally. Folded in half and sewed on, it's about an inch when it's all said and done.
