Flashback Skinny Tee

I had the pleasure of testing Rae's Flashback Skinny Tee pattern last week. The verdict: Me likey. Me likey A LOT. Like, so much that I made four in two days. This is the first version I made. I'll share the others next week.

I used a green interlock for the body and sleeves, and a purple rib nit for the cuffs and neck. The applique is a scrap of orange french terry.

I just drew the star freehand, cut it out, and stitched it to the front with purple thread.

This is a great pattern. It's well written and easy to follow, like all of Rae's patterns. It's sure to be my new go-to shirt pattern. The Flashback Skinny Tee has everything going for it - it comes together so quickly (like, WELL under an hour - I think I got it down to about 20ish minutes of actual sewing on the last one I made), and I love the style. I serged all of my seams - never even turned my regular machine on - but this pattern can absolutely be sewn with your regular machine.

I might have cleaned our Goodwill out of cool shirts to cut up and use with this pattern (since I'm not buying fabric - old shirts don't count, right? It's recycling!). If you use existing hems from old or thrifted shirts, it comes together even quicker. I love instant gratification.

I think the pattern will be released next week. I highly recommend it!
