Tiny foxes shirt

Tiny foxes shirt

What is it?
A t-shirt with a peter pan collar covered in tiny foxes

Is it blue?
Yes. Well sort of. It might be a blue green? I think it’s blue though.

What’s the fabric?
Kokka Company “Little Foxes” double gauze

What’s the pattern?
Grainline Studio’s Scout Tee, adapted by me to add a faux peter pan collar

Where’s the fabric from?
Tomato in Nippori Textile Town, Tokyo

What was good about making this?
It was very quick to put together, including drafting the fake collar. Instructions were clear and simple

What was bad about making this?
The bias neckline was fiddly, especially with the addition of the collar. I also misjudged how long the collar pieces needed to be so they don’t meet in the middle as a proper Peter Pan collar should.

Would you make it again?
Yes. Both with and without the collar. Although I’ll redraft those pieces first if I do!
