Shirt blue

Since dear daughter and I could not settle on a halter maxi-dress pattern for her, and since her fabric did not arrive anyway, I made a shirt for me.

This fabric is again Hilco, but much thicker, with no burnout, and not as stretchy as the last shirt. It sewed together easily.
The pattern I made has different lengths marked on it, and different neck holes. Even the sleeves have different lengths. Almost made a ruffle to go on this one, but changed my mind at the last minute.
It even fit more closely than the extra stretchy one. After wearing it a couple of times, I realized that the stretchy shirt really needs to be worn over a tank top. This one does not.
One neat helper I found for sewing anything stretchy is Vlieseline Formband, or Vilene bias interfacing.
It's a bias-cut iron on interfacing that has a chain stitch going through it. You iron it to the stretchy edge, then turn it along the stitching to give you a beautiful curve that can be easily sewn. I imagine this will work as well for quilts as it does for clothing. Here's a video of the interfacing.
