I finished Logan's first birthday shirt. Obviously, he can't model it for you yet, but here it is.
And a close up of the cool sleeve detail.
No, I didn't have another difficultly with ripply hems. What the poor picture can't tell you is that this is a sleeve band rather than a hem, and it is just right! Thanks to good quality fabric, I had no trouble with this tee at all, despite the fact that the sleeves are rib knit. The design is great! The curved shoulder seam is so cute and goes together easily. All of the seams are top stitched. I used a double needle on the regular sewing machine, but coverstitching would work as well.

This t-shirt is such a great shape, I love Ottobre for boys too! Perfect fabric choice :-)
Cute T for Logan. I love the topstitching on the sleeve seam. Looks RTW to me. He's going to be one happy little man with new clothes to wear....One of these days I will venture out and get and Ottobre
I love the shirt! I just ordered my first issue of Ottobre thanks to your raves....I'm excited!
Very nice! I love the combo of the stripes and the solid. I know I keep saying this but I need to get that magazine! lol
Since I started subscribing to Ottobre I rarely buy children's patterns.
Oh, and nice job on the shirt!
Great job! Your projects are all cool. The curved shoulder seam is technically called a raglan sleeve - I'm sure you knew that anyway :)
Very nice...the color the pattern and the style is perfect.
