chebeGeorge + Ginger's The Teen Spirit Top is an oversized boxy t-shirt pattern, with a bunch of possible variations. Be still my grungy heart.
This one was fun. Over-sized patterns rarely have noticeable fit issues, so it removes a whole level of work and stress. I decided to try this in a stretch black fishnet (92% Polyester, 8% Elastane) fabric. The combination I went with is the full length straight-hem t-shirt, with neckband, and sleeves. I didn't press anything, I didn't finish any of the seams, and I didn't hem anything. Yes, I am a monster. But, this fabric isn't likely to fray, and I think it adds to the grunge. Sewn up in about an hour.
Picked the 20/2X size. I could go down a size (or two), but I also feel like that might miss the point of this kind of t-shirt.
