Strathcona T-shirt Sew-Along
While we have quite a few sew-alongs and tutorials on our website, there are a few big gaping holes which really need to be filled! One such hole is a sew-along for the t-shirt version of our Strathcona Henley and T-shirt pattern. Currently, the only tutorial on our site specifically suited to the Strath is my tutorial on sewing the Henley button placket - extremely useful if you plan on sewing the Henley variation but not so helpful if you are sewing the T-shirt!
In preparation for the sew-along, the Strathcona T-shirt and Henley pattern is currently 25% off! The tissue pattern is currently only $15.00 while the PDF pattern is only $8.25. The sale will run until the sew along is over on September 23rd.
Here are the aspects I will cover in this sew along - you will notice it will only take three blog posts to complete (it really is that simple to sew a t-shirt):
Blog Post #1 on Sept 16th
Blog Post #2 on September 18th
Blog Post #3 on September 21st
I hope you will sew along with me! Please don't feel rushed to find fabric in time - you are welcome to start sewing whenever you are ready. Any comments and questions added to these sew along posts will be answered by me indefinitely! Please use #strathtee to share your sewing process and finished tees!

Yay! I used parts of the Finlayson sweater sew-along to make my first Strathcona T-shirt, I just couldn’t figure out the shoulder reinforcement and how to sew on the neck binding, hehe. Looking especially forward to choosing manly t-shirt knits!

Sonia showed me the photos of you and your partially finished Strath :D They were so funny! I wish I could share them on Instagram or the blog but I’m guessing you’d be embarrassed :P. What do you think? Congrats on all of your sewing success recently! I’m so impressed how quickly you’ve learned!!!

Haha, you can share them if you want, I haven’t seen them so I don’t know if I’d be embarrassed ;) I’ll send you some pictures of the finished product on my model as soon as I take some. It’s so much fun!!
