Jackalope Tee – One Thimble Issue 8 Giftables!

Have you started thinking about holiday gifts yet? Rebecca mentioned using One Thimble Issue 8 patterns to start checking people off her list and I decided to organize a week of posts doing just that! I jumped at the chance to sew up a Jackalope Tee, from Momma Quail Patterns. My friend Amy is the woman behind the designs (she blogs here) and she came up with a winner! It fits sizes 2-14, with cuff and band options, and these fun inset stripes for the bodice and arms. You can use knit or woven for the stripes – perfect for scrap busting, which is always my favorite!

The pattern was released in issue 8 of One Thimble E-Magazine* (along with my Little Collector Backpack) or you can purchase it separately on One Thimble’s website.

I love how the accent panel connects! I always see people asking how to use flannel in clothes, and this would be a great spot.

This is a size 4, which he measured for. Amy is awesome and I trust her, so I didn’t even muslin. I did use the cuffed length and then added a band – extra length is always a plus for my son’s big belly.

The front is a semi-failed Inkodye project (you can see more details here) but you wouldn’t know it from his reaction, he LOVES this shirt. Loves it. I’m making a matching one for his best buddy, and he won’t stop pestering me about if I’ve sewn it yet or not.

I’ve shown you how I embroidered size tags on fabric scraps with my machine’s “alphabet stitches” before – this time I did it on twill tape! So cute.

Naturally, lots of hijinks tested the fit of this pattern 🙂 He literally cried when we took it off to wash it, there will be more jackalope tees in his future and in my gifting arsenal!

Again, you can find the pattern, along with a ton of others, in issue 8 of One Thimble E-Magazine*or you can purchase it separately on One Thimble’s website.
