Pixie Tee by Chalk and Notch

This is going to be short and sweet, but I really want to share my latest make with everyone, because I feel like a real-loved t-shirt deserves a little shout-out 🙂

The Pixie Tee from Chalk and Notch is a wardrobe stable for me. I love the relaxed, boxy fit. It is perfect for my everyday life as a stay-at-home mom. I am one who has to “get ready” for the day, even if I am not going anywhere, it just makes me feel better and motivates me to accomplish more during the day. However, even though I want to put on make-up and do my hair, I usually opt to keep my clothes simple and comfy.

The Pixie Tee Pattern has 3 different views. I made view ‘”C” but I cut the hem line 2″ shorter, making a slightly cropped style.

The best part about working with a pattern with a rather simple silhouette, is that I can choose a bolder fabric. Now, I admit, many people would not consider this palm leaves modal jersey to be that bold of a print, but for me it is pretty bold 🙂

I am seriously so excited about my new tee, and I guarantee you will be seeing more Pixie Tees on the blog very soon 🙂
