Flashback Skinny Tee for BIG KIDS is here!!
I am so excited to announce that we have finished working on the Flashback Skinny Tee for Big Kids, sizes 6-14. Yaaaaaay! *Kermit arms* BUY BOTH FLASHBACK PATTERNS & SAVE 20%! (just select the size(s) you'd like to purchase in the dropdown menu)Just like my Flashback Skinny Tee sizes 12 mo-5T, except this time in larger sizes for big kids! The sizes included are meant to fit most boys and girls through age 14, which means -- if you remember the disparities in sizes from your own, memorable teenage years -- that it will fit every kid differently, depending on chest measurement, broader shoulders, and developing busts. For this reason we've included a two-page guide called "Getting a Better Fit" that walks you through the process of choosing size based on your child's measurement and adjusting pattern piece lengths accordingly to get a more "custom" fit (PS. I've sent the "Getting A Good Fit" guide out to everyone who purchased a Flashback Tee in the smaller range as well, and it will be included in ALL Flashback Tee PDF pattern packages from now on).Here's just a few fantastic shots from some of my wonderful testers (yes there were more, this is just a handful!):
Guitar and blue short sleeved versions from Cindy of Siestas and Sewing (blogged here) / Grey version from Beth of Yellow House Days / Purple floral and Striped versions by Clover of Farr Better Life (blogged here) / Pink Polka Dot version by Brittney / Rainbow version by Yara / Car, Black, and Dog versions by Tina / Pale Pink version by Becky / White floral with red trim version by Shannon of Mama's Hustlin' (blogged here) / Heart version by Melissa (love that awesome pose!)
Sizes Included: 6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, and 13/14SIZE CHARTWhat about short sleeves? As summer is now in full swing, I suggest you check out my Short-Sleeve Flashback Tee Tutorial which shows you how to turn the Flashback Tee into a short-sleeved tee for summer! I would suggest leaving 2-5" on the sleeve below the armpit for the larger size range, depending on the size you are making and the style you want.Fabric: Just like the original Flashback Skinny Tee size 12 mo - 5T, we recommend using stretchy jerseys and 1x1 rib knits (although a stretchy interlock may work) for the body of the tee and a rib knit for the neckband. It's easy to recycle adult tees to make kid sized Flashback Tees because we've included finished hem lines on all of the pattern pieces. I don't recommend using the traditional "beefy tees" to make Flashback Tees, though, as they don't have enough stretch!Yardage Needed:
