Jennuine Design Schooner Tee and Dress

I’ve been sitting on this make for quite some time and now I’m able to share it.  I will be part of a group a few makers sharing some Jennuine Design pattern makes.  This Certified Jennuine Design makers will each feature a pattern once a quarter.  We may hack a pattern, write a tutorial for a mod, or sew it just as it is.  Basically we are just going to show you some of the possibilities with the Jennuine Design patterns.

For this feature, I stitched up the Schooner Tee and Dress.  I have purchased so many ready-to-wear tops for my girls with this sleeve style and I kept looking at the construction to see how it was put together.  I was excited that this pattern was the solution to all my questions.  This is a seriously quick sew.  I may have taped, cut, and stitched this up in record time.  The sleeve isn’t a separate piece, which means it’s just a front, back, and neckband.  I feel like I could sew an entire collection of shirts and dresses just for this reason. #quicksewsrock #imlazy

The Schooner comes in sizes newborn to size 12.  That is a huge size range!  I think that makes it a great option for gifts since it is so quick, it covers a large size rang, and it is far from a fabric hog.

My favorite thing about this pattern is that it is more of a flutter sleeve, but it is something my girls are still able to wear to school.  We have a “sleeves required” dress code, but this pattern has great shoulder coverage.  This tee pairs well with pants, capris, shorts, and even skirts.  Its’s a great casual everyday look for your little lady.
