Wrapped up a new design for T-shirts this past weekend. The goal was to simplify the overlocked seam process of the Inter shirt, and to find an easy way to add a pocket to the design. The result was the Piet T-shirt, inspired by the Mondrian graphic from my Party Flavors collection. Here's the process:
Original garment technical flats with color options.
Pattern making on 440's light-table
Cut fabric pieces. ...it was nice to use the colored striped mesh fabric again :)
If you're going to sew 1 sample, you might as well sew 3 and sell a couple!
Close-up of front chest pocket detail. All the seams lined up -- hooray!
Inside view showing off the contrast pocket backing, overlocked seams, and tags.
...and finished! These were cost at $5 to sew/garment, so it passes the pricing challenge! They're on the racks now and ready for you to take one home!
