It feels so weird, but I've started using Men's Patterns for my nephew! 😏 How is he big enough?? Some companies include a size 2XS in their men's size chart, and he is actually fitting in that size pretty well now. So it just makes sense when getting a pattern, to get one that he's not going to grow out of!

So, when Amelia Lane Designs announced they were releasing this fabulous Striped Jersey, I immediately thought of him. I knew I had to make something for him with it. This came right after the release of the Rocky Tee by 5 out of 4 Patterns, and at the same time as a sitewide sale at 5 out of 4... so, it was meant to be. Right?
So Let's Talk About the Pattern:
First... How about the amazing size range? 🎉If you wear a size 2XS (27-28" chest) to a 5XL (61-63" chest" this pattern is for you!! WHAT? This is an amazingly inclusive, wonderful tee shirt pattern!
The shirt has a slim fit, which I prefer to the boxier ones. I actually think my husband will like this one when I make him one! 😉
There are two neckline options - regular crew neck and a v-neck. The crew neck is high. The sleeves are finished with bands. You can make short or long sleeves. And the bottom is hemmed.
The pattern goes together easily, and is a super quick sew!
Scotty's Shirt
As I mentioned, I made this shirt using a jersey fabric from Amelia Lane Designs. This is a new release this weekend (and is currently on sale)! It has good horizontal stretch, but not much vertical stretch. I doubt that it has the needed recovery, since it is jersey, so I would recommend using something different for the bands. I used a cotton lycra I had in my stash!
His chest measures into the 2XS, however in the finished shirt, he likes the fit now, but there is not much growing room. So, next time I make this for him, I'll size him up to the XS so it'll fit longer.
He's happy with the fit, and loves wearing it!
Matching Cousins
I ordered two yards of this so I'd be sure to have enough for the shirt. I felt pretty confident I could get his shirt from 1 yard, unless the fabric shrunk in the wash. If it did shrink, I think it was minimal, so I had a lot left over. I decided to make my 4 year old a short set to match him! Daniel was a little sad that I didn't put a pirate ship on Scotty's shirt too. 🤷
Daniel is wearing Puperita patterns
- the Jelly Tee shirt (made from a lightweight cotton lycra from Wal-Mart) and the Seven Seas Shorts. This shorts pattern is actually drafted for wovens, but it has elastic in the waist, so I just made it with the jersey, and we like the fit! 😊
