I was excited when I saw the Oliver + S Field Trip Tee and Pants pattern released, but mostly excited in anticipation of using it if I ever had a little boy. Then I decided I'd give it a go as a girl pattern. I had two coordinating knits in my stash that I got from Girl Charlee (I love this site for knits), that I had already used for other projects for Miss S.
I loved the little floral and figured it would make a pretty girly looking tee shirt, in spite of the more boyish styled tee. I actually love the raglan sleeve style shirts, and I love it on girls. I was pretty happy with how this turned out.
It was a really fast, really easy sew. It literally went together in about an hour, start to finish. My pocket topstitching is not perfect, but oh well, right? The knit is also a little off grain, which makes the pocket look a little crooked, but I'm pretty okay with that. I've got at least another version in mind, and maybe more, since it is SUCH a quick, easy and fun sew.
I think it is the perfect girly tshirt - great fabric choices :-)
