Jalie 2804 -Happy Birthday Judy Shirt

This is Jalie 2804 in a black and white poly/lycra knit from http://www.fabricmartfabrics.com/ . Today is Judy's 23rd Birthday so thought I'd make her a new shirt she could use for student teaching (with cami of course). She's student teaching kindergarten and needs a more grown up wardrobe. Her t-shirts and jeans college wardrobe just won't cut it for a school teacher. This is a quick and easy pattern. I made her size R but added length in bodice, arms and from waist to hem. I cut the neckband a little smaller so it would hug to her chest and not show anything. Will get a photo on her as soon as she has a chance. She's still working as cheerleading and tumbling coach so comes in at 5:05 from student teaching and leaves at 5:15 for work. Good thing she's young.

I traced off Kwik Sew 3758. Added length to arms, bodice & skirt. Also did a small correction to neckline. All the girls in my family have narrow shoulders and this alteration helps with positioning shoulder correctly. I use to just make a small tuck but know (per Connie Crawford tip) use a curved line (use french curve) and slice to seam line and lap over. You have to true the seamline slightly.
