I could put a nice little neckline design on, then stitch up and wear the next day. Maybe something that has a slightly scooped neck with a button and loop closure in the back, an A line design with a straight hemline that you don't have to tuck in? Wouldn't that be nice? Does anyone still just sew some simple tops like these any more? Really, T shirts just don't look very nice on 61 year old grammys, and I want something simple for fun designs.

You are amazing! Thanks! Does Simplicity still make patterns too?

Thought I was missing a pattern company.

If I were you I'd make a pattern by drawing round something that fits you (not a T-shirt!) and make it up using an old sheet and big stitches. Then adjust to perfection, un-pick and you have a pattern. You won;t loose anything by trying!

I was kind of thinking about that, but I haven't actually sewn any clothing for sooooo long. What if I've forgotten how? lol kind of

Yes, I have one. I've had it for years and it's a McCall's pattern. The number is 6926. You can make it in an hour!!!! Now, I don't know if it is still current, but you could try. I'll attach a picture of it for you.

Too bad this is no longer available. I'd have like something like this, too!

Did you find one, yet? And I know you said from commercial pattern company, but I found this pattern at Burda's website and it looks nice. It is free download, but their downloading process is weird. If you need help, I did manage to get the pattern directions and the pattern pieces into one pdf file. Just let me know if you need it.

I cant seem to get the "print at home" option with the chickadee top, how did you get the pdf pattern? I got the "instructions" but it says to refer to the pdf pattern lol. I got an email from Burda and have been browsing there for a while tonight and happened to notice this thread here :)

You haven't forgotten how. It will immediately come back to you when you start. A bit like typing and roller skating, it stays with you. I hope your project turns out well.
