T-Shirt Project

Hello there, I'm not sure whether somebody reads this or not, but well...

The other day I had this daft idea, after being fifteen minutes in a shop and not finding a t-shirt nice enough to catch my eye... so I've decided I'm going to design and sew my own T-shirt. I already have tons of ideas about how it would look like, and from all those I already did a sketch, we'll see how it turns out. Before I upload a picture of a decent drawing I'll try and describe it. It would have two main parts, the top part, which would end just under the breast, and the bottom part, which would be aprox. two handspans and pleated inwardly (I don't know if any of this is understandable, my sewing jargon is awful, so I don't know whether I'm being accurate or just plain silly). Then the sleeves would be asymmetrical, one of them long, the other short. I have this fantasy of it being with this sort of kilt fabric (rather unlikely to find it in Spain though hehehe)

This is going to sound rather geekish, but I've spent the two last hours looking up patterns and ways of sewing in the sleeves, etc etc. It's all rather complicated for my simple intellect, but since I am the impersonation of the term "headstrong", I will spend as much time and energy I can spare in this project.

I'll post here any new stuff I come up with, wish me luck, it's going to take me ages to do this...

Ps: sorry I abandoned my Swiss guide posts, but I couldn't find anything really interesting to say, not that there aren't LOADS of interesting things to say about Swiss towns, but I was just lazy and lacking imagination :(
