Nighthawk Linnea Top & Dragon Custom Tee

Nighthawk Linnea Top & Dragon Custom Tee

Our favorite movie is Step-Brothers, which inspired these shirt panels (available here). It was a lot of fun designing the panels and coordinating fabric. I just love how they turned out and the color blocking was a lot easier than I thought it would be.

Nighthawk
Shirt Pattern: Linnea from Sinclair Patterns
Hood Pattern: Lotte from Sinclair Patterns
Fabric (Panel & Coordinate): Cotton Spandex Jersey from my Spoonflower shop
Hood: Dark Teal French Terry
Back & Hood Lining: Gray Cotton Spandex

Dragon
Shirt Pattern: Self-Drafted (based on a RTW shirt he has)
Hood Pattern: Lotte from Sinclair Patterns​
Fabric (Panel & Floral): Modern Jersey from my Spoonflower Shop
Hood: French Terry

I modified the Nighthawk Linnea pattern to omit the sleeves. I finished the armcyes with French Terry binding that I cut 1% smaller than the armcye. Instead of finishing the neckline with a band, I attached the hood from the Lotte pattern. Also, I cut the hemline high-low. The panel was too narrow for the pattern, so I colorblocked the sides with the coordinating ombré fabric. 

For my husband's shirt, I created the pattern from a shirt he already has and likes the fit. His panel was too narrow, so I colorblocked the sides with the floral coordinate. His armcyes were finished by folding the edge in and hemming. I used his measurements to determine the best size for the hood and attached the Lotte hood.
