No, this is not all the t-shirts. Some are in the wash (a teal U-neck and a creme coloured kimono tee) and a one is not yet hemmed (a long sleeved burgundy and a creme 3/4 sleeved U-neck), but yeah – these are the t-shirts for my autumn wardrobe that I’ve been making this past week. These should be enough for the next couple of months, I think. Here are my Birgitte Tees:

{Birgitte Basic Tees: Striped (modified neckline) boatneck, Burgundy U- neck w 3/4 sleeves, blue long sleeved U-neck with STARS print.}

The trousers worn with the blue t-shirt is one of the first prototypes of my next pattern – for wide legged trousers.

I have enjoyed my first week as my own boss – and it is quite fun to work at the fabric store as well- I enjoy meeting the customers and advising them. But I’m oh so tired when I get home. And hungry!

This week will bring a couple of days in the fabric store, a bit of drafting and sewing at home, spending time in the hospital while my mother is having a hip surgery and on Friday morning  I will be going to the European PatternReview Week-end 2012 in Barcelona, Spain! I’ve never been to Barcelona before, so any tips on where to eat and what to see, will be more than welcome!

Here are some Kimono Tees: The teal t-shirt is worn with one of the prototypes for my next pattern, the burgundy one with the star is worn with a Yasmin Yoke Skirt.

All the t-shirts have been fitted to me using the methods I describe in the fitting series – but as I look at the pictures I can tell that I’ve lost some weight and need to adjust the patterns again. Some of them are quite big… Well. It’ll have to wait. I might be a little fed up with sewing t-shirts now. On to other projects!

Have you made any basic tops for autumn? I’d love to see them, so tell me where I can find a photo:-)

P.S. There’s still time to enter the Fabric Give-Away (I’ll draw the winners when I get back from Barcelona)
