Also works well with:
- knit fabrics including:

Tips:
- Fabrics with approximately 50% stretch produce the intended fit.
- If your main fabric has less than 50% stretch, use a rib knit with at least 50% stretch for the neckband.
- Stable knits with little or no spandex create the boxiest silhouette.
- Modal jerseys can curl while sewing and may be more challenging for beginners.

Required sewing level:
- Beginner. Designed specifically for sewists making their first knit garment.

Skills you will learn from the instruction booklet/video tutorial:
- sewing with knit fabrics
- calculating stretch percentage
- attaching a neckband
- hemming knit garments
- top stitching knit hems

Tools you will need:
- sewing machine
- iron
- measuring tape
*Note: additional required notions can be found above.

Fit notes:
- Choose your size based on your bust measurement (see our “Measurements” chart above).
- Designed with a relaxed, boxy fit.
- Slightly cropped length pairs well with high-waisted bottoms.

I have made this t-shirt twice now, once for me and a gift for my sister and it's such a nice relaxed fit with great finishes (I love all the topstitching)

Nice fitting pattern with good instruction. Best finish on a knit garment so far. The details about stitch types and topstitching is really helpful. I’m a prolific sewing but I always felt like sewing with knits was full of mysterious techniques that only pros know. Will become a tnt pattern!

Great pattern! I made it with a ponte fabric and I’m looking forward to getting some French terry. There is also a YouTube video to help follow along. I made this within 2 weeks of buying a sewing machine & ever attempting to sew.
