I traced and cut out a T-shirt for myself out of a dark raspberry cotton knit from fabric.com . I've never tried one of Connie Crawford's patterns but I think I've bought most of them. Being plus sized I'll buy most large size patterns. I've seen mixed reviews of her patterns but hope that it will work for me. I only made one change to the pattern and that was a high round back adjustment. I'm really just making a hopefully wearable muslin. I'm determined to start sewing for myself. I've spent most of my life making things for my kids and grandkids. Now I'm going to sew for myself and learn what adjustments to make as I go. I now already know to do a FBA, high round back and narrow the shoulders . I didn't narrow these because her patterns are suppose to be made for someone like me. With my very casual life I don't need any dress clothes so it use to be easier to just buy clothes. But as I've gotten older and obviously heavier I find it even harder to find clothes that fit.Butterick 5215- T-shirt Trial
