Kirsten Kimono Tee Muslin

I can't remember where but I recently stumbled across a free pattern download from MariaDenmark.

  It's called the Kirsten Kimono Tee.

On Tuesday, I printed the pattern off and sewed a muslin out of a lavender cotton jersey that's been taking up space in my fabric stash.  I chose to do a medium but think I could get away with a small, especially if I use the recommended fabric (knit with lycra or elastane).  The top is supposed to have negative ease through the bust which in my muslin fabric/size medium, I don't have.  But regardless, I really like the shape of this tee. 

I'm  5' 9" and a bit long through the torso, so I ended up adding a 1 1/2 inch band to the bottom to give me a little extra length.  I finished off the neckline with FOE (fold over elastic) and used my twin needle to stitch it on.  

I love the shape of this tee and will definitely be giving it another try with a more appropriate fabric.  Which reminds me, I need to stock up on more solid knits!
