Everyday T Shirt

Everyone should have a few good, basic patterns they can use over and over again as staples in their wardrobe. Sometimes it takes a few tries to find the one that works better with your body, but it’s worth it, because once you’ve found them, they save you so much time and effort (and money!). Every time you use a new pattern, it takes extra time to figure out, adjust, try on, pick out…. Sometimes it’s nice to know how something is going to turn out because it was successful before. 

Butterick 6848 is one of mine - I’ve had this pattern so long (mine is actually McCalls 6964 - copyright on the back says 2014!) it’s full of pinholes. I currently have three in my dresser (see this post and this one), but I have made many more over the years. This pattern just fits me easily, needs very little adjusting, and takes me only an hour to make since I’m so familiar with it.
