Our Thoughts: Denise made a cute and cozy knit top with this beautiful Josi Severson print - we think it's marvelous!

 

 

 

I have been working with Organic Cotton Plus for a good while and can’t ever say just how much I love their fabric! Every time I get to use their material I am blown away by the quality. Today I am showcasing a t-shirt I made for myself with this amazing orange/white organic cotton knit fabric.

 

The pattern I used is one of my favorites from Love Notions, the Laundry Day Tee which I have used once before (see the post here). This time I made this shirt slightly different as the pattern instructed. The fit of this shirt is great to begin with and it has some substantial flare. I slimmed it down a bit, probably about 2″ from each side (lower area only, I kept the width of the chest area the same). I also added a cute cowl neckline instead of the regular band binding.

 

 

Fabric details:

• Knit fabric title is “Courage”
• Organic cotton grown and knit in India and printed in USA using water-based ink
• it consists of 100% organic cotton fibers
• the knit fabric type is interlock
• the color orange is vibrant and looks amazing with the white
• the fabric width is 60″ and the print covers the entire width! There is almost no selvage.

 

Just a note to using interlock knit fabric for this type of shirt: I love the quality of this organic knit fabric because it is very soft unlike some other interlock knits. That is why I love to use it for some of my shirts. It is also a nice and warm thickness, perfect for colder months.

Another perk for me is that I can easily sew the hems without stabilizing them first, as I normally do as shown in this post. All in all, this interlock knit fabric works for me for clothes all the time!

I hope you will sew with organic fabric soon!
