I had the pleasure of sewing the Celestial Tee by Figgy’s for the Perfect Pattern Parcel tour! In my daughter’s words “ooh, I like it!”
Pattern:
Celestial Tee by Figgy’s. Available HERE in a bundle right now.
Size:
Size 8/9
Fit:
The fit is really well. My daughter has a smaller chest measurement than the pattern but her shoulders and height are perfect so it fits very well.
Pattern Options/Changes:
I didn’t hem the sleeves or the bottom. I would have but I had no thread to match this fabric and everything I tried just didn’t look right. Thankfully this knit works very well unhemmed.
Fabric:
Interlock knit fabric by Michael Miller. Love this knit!
What I would do differently:
I’d made the neckband a couple inches shorter and stretch a little as I sew. That would leave the neckline sitting a little better. This particular knit is pretty heavy so it stands up a bit.
Pants:
Those are my design. Pattern coming soon! What should I name them?
I love that it’s a simple dolman but the pleats in front make it different from other dolman patterns. A great, basic tee. Quick to sew and perfect to sew production style if you need to whip out a wardrobe.

You know when you put something in a place so that it doesn’t get lost and then you can’t remember that special place? That’s what happened to my camera battery charger. My apologies for the phone quality photos!
My favorite scene from the surprisingly superb “Neighbors” happens to be one of the smallest. It features Zac Efron’s Teddy watching his best friend Pete (Dave Franco) meet with potential employers in preparation for life after college.
