Stripey Knit T-Shirt

All of my t-shirts have stains on them.  Not kidding, it's disgusting.  My husband thinks I'm crazy, because I'm the only one who notices, until I point it out.  I'm not a sloppy eater, but sometimes forget to put on an apron while cooking and doing dishes.  So my goals for this fall it to sew up a few t-shirts and wear an apron while doing chores.  I know I could probably buy t-shirts for much less than it will cost to make them, but I'm really on the quest for the PERFECT t-shirt pattern.

I used the Creative Workshop 303, Women's Best Tops by Ottobre.  This one is a little snug, but it's a start.  Next time I make it, I will make it a couple of sizes larger, I think.

I cut the color piece on the bias to mix up the stripes a little. I also used a knit fusible tape to stabilize the shoulder and collar seams, as well as the hems. I've never had much success with sewing knits -- I hated the wavy seams -- but I think using the stretchy fusible tape did the trick.
