Your aqua on...Oh my gosh, I love that Thakoon tee!<br /><br />Your aqua one is really cute. The short sleeves do look better than the long ones, although fabric drape may have something to do with it. I think a belt would work with the aqua top, which might help disguise the swayback issue a bit.<br /><br />I remember a puff-sleeve tee pattern from the 80s that I adored. Huge on top, almost leg o'mutton, and narrow at the wrists. Everything comes around again.Mrs. Micawberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08680436275934263596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-83824334595680470622012-04-05T15:12:18.029-04:002012-04-05T15:12:18.029-04:00Gorgeous splashes of colour (summer must be on the...Gorgeous splashes of colour (summer must be on the way).

I like how it is gathered at the upper arm, but doesn't create a puff at the shoulder. <br /><br />Both shirts look good on you.

I particularly love the short sleeved one. I actually have this pattern in my stash and think I might attempt this next. May I ask, what size did you cut? I read that you took out 5 inches, but I'm curious as to your starting point, just to give me an idea when I attempt this on my own. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028468830883390661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-58534428280449456852012-04-04T15:23:45.260-04:002012-04-04T15:23:45.260-04:00I love that affect!I love that affect!McValhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285808958951068897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-63747550273084397772012-04-04T15:23:06.875-04:002012-04-04T15:23:06.875-04:00funny, i had been thinking (before i got to that b...funny, i had been thinking (before i got to that bit in your review) that those sleeves would be awesome on a TNT tee pattern for a little extra jazz. i love that you tried them and we get to see them--and i think you are being too hard on them--but i bet if you keep making them on a TNT, like the long-sleeve version, there's a lot of fun potential there!<br /><br />and "ease of doom" is the best description of that problem i have heard, ever.puuhttp://puusdooroftime.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4198660701949089916.post-92130222537544447882012-04-04T14:57:12.479-04:002012-04-04T14:57:12.479-04:00These are so cute.
