A few months ago HP offered a free tee shirt pattern. All you had to do was download it, print and sew. It's quite a nice pattern but when I made it up I just didn't love it. 
It felt a bit big, frumpy and the tie bugged me. 
I tried it different ways and wore a few times and then left it on my ironing board for weeks. Today, I finally pulled it back out and made a few changes. What do you think? I like it much better now. 
I took in the sides by a full seam allowance up to the armholes - so over two inches. And I changed the neckline 
by simply stufing the tie inside, draping so I liked it, top stitching it in place and whacking off the excess inside. So the inside's a mess but I'm quite liking the oustide. Much better for me. The fabric's a lightweight knit from G Street's WALL.
