Similar to the first drape project, the onerous part was sitting on the floor tracing out these big rorschach-blot monster pieces and sticking them together. The piece was easy to cut, and then again I sewed it in the order I liked. Basically it just gets folded over and then all the loose parts are sewn. I did not pay attention to how you are supposed to roll and sew the drape side sleeve opening, and mine was a bit messy. The Singer really showed how it didn't like knits here - I had to constantly tug my stitches to get them straight, and my final seamlines are wavy. I attached the neckline as I did on the first drape project - I sewed the inside like a bias binding and then folded it over with the raw edge out. I did initially hem the opposite sleeve, but my hemming was too tight, and so I cut the sleeve edge off. I left the bottom raw as well.
I cut the S/M again here.
The fabric is a mostly-cotton, very very thin knit, from one of the shops in Milan.
This turned out to be an amazing tshirt that I loved right away. Lizzy was right! I already have about three more planned, most of them in stripes. I am not sure how to finish the neck and the sleeves better, though.
