Very quilt to sew up. But beware…. Your husband will tell you that you need to clear out your old clothes because you are making too many new ones.
Especially love the crop version of this top. Don't love the binding on the tank version, will probably hem next time instead of bind/band the arms. Fits really well. Have made 3, will likely make at least 3 more.
Love this pattern, so versatile. I did the racerback fitted version with the scoop neck option
I've looked in all the right/wrong places for to find a dependable, always-a-winner tshirt pattern. This may be it! I was initially attracted by the pleated back, since I have a couple of knit tops from J. Jill with this feature. It adds a nice vertical detail to what can be a large expanse of unbroken fabric. The unpleated back is very nice, too. I like the choice of the slimmer fit lines. Changes I made to the size S pattern include narrowing the shoulders 3/8" and shortening about 2". I'm 5'2". I like the regular neckline more than the scoop for myself, as well as the cap sleeve length. Both flowy and firmer knits have given good results. I think a drapey knit works best for the pleated back while a cotton/lycra knit is better unpleated. Finally, I've made the plain back version with a shirt tail, shaped hem (lifted from the Jalie Marie-Claude raglan shirt) with a self-drafted shaped hem facing.
There are lots of Tees out there, but this one offers many options. Love the sleeves or sleeveless and the back pleat. Fit is great.
Easy.. easy to download, easy to get printed, rady to understand. I appreciated the video that showed all the steps. Stylish too
The fit of this tee is spot on and the pleat in the back is a great addition. Clear instructions and easy assembly. I see many of these tees in my future.
I love the options and style of this tee. It has a beautiful silhouette and covers a multitude of styles
Fun pattern, I did about an inch longer than crop top and next time would do 2” in the front, but it came out great. I also projected the pattern and realized there was a grid layer that was super helpful for scale. I can’t wait to make a tank!
Cute shirt. I measured one size smaller through bust than waist and graded accordingly. That was a little too loose fitting for my taste in the waist, so I took it down to the smaller size I measured and it's just right.
