I sew my t-shirts with Marie Poisson

I continue my t-shirt creations, a series started with Vanessa Pouzet's Wanted t-shirt, and continued thanks to the wonderful book Sewing Stretch Fabrics by Marie Poisson.

I started with the Briac pattern offered in 96 versions.

I chose to make the first t-shirt following the basic Briac model, that is, the one with the high round neckline.

I chose the maximum length, Briac being offered in short, medium, and long versions. I usually tuck my t-shirts into skirts or pants, and I find the long version best suited for this reason.

I chose short sleeves for the desired t-shirt effect.

This pretty floral fabric comes from Chipote et Papote.

After making this first model with a round neckline, and with my confidence at its peak, I ventured into the deep V neckline; the one I generally prefer for t-shirts.

I made two pieces of this model.

The fabric comes from the online store Lulu la luciole. The first is a blue floral jersey with wild strawberry flowers and little strawberries; the second is a floral jersey that I love, having used it for sweatshirt sleeves and for making a Wanted by Vanessa Pouzet... but now, the coupon is finished.

Regarding the making of these t-shirts, no major difficulties to report.

The technical points are:
- assembling the sleeves with the overlocker
- making the collar and its assembly (more complex for the V-neck collar)
- making the hems with a twin needle.

I find them really nice and had a lot of fun making these three quick little projects.
