Sew-along
I’ve been looking for a simple t-shirt pattern for a while. I made my own, but they are not perfect. I’ve made two Stellan Tees, but they bunch up a bit around the armhole and are maybe a bit too heavy/boxy for my liking. This Jeanne t-shirt looks perfect proportion-wise. Maybe make it with slightly chunkier hem, neckband and sleeve hems to make it look even neater? The sleeves look a bit slim… They are also quite short, could lengthen a bit.
