It's pattern release day over at Laela Jeyne Patterns! I was able to test the new Emmy T-Shirt pattern and it is a wonderful addition to my useful pattern collection.
Why do I love this shirt pattern so much? Well it has tons of options! You can use it to carry you through all the seasons. I made the cowl neck with elbow length cuffed sleeves in this version. It will be perfect for our crazy cold and hot days that always come about in fall here in Michigan.
The first version that I made I had done a hood instead of the cowl neck. It's super cute too but I didn't get photos of it yet. I intend on making some for my boys so they have some cute mama made clothes for fall. I love it when a single pattern can be used for boys and girls since I have both.
The Emmy T-Shirt pattern comes with a regular t-shirt neckline, hood, or cowl neck option. You also have the choice of doing short sleeves with or without a slight gather, elbow length, or long sleeve. Just when you think you have enough options there's more! Ha Ha! You can even add on some other little things to make your shirt extra special. You can add on a thumb hole in the long sleeve band, elbow patches, and little triangle accents.
The fabric used for this pattern is knit. I used an interlock knit which has a 2 way stretch. The cowl and cuffs are made with a 4-way stretch french terry which gave the cowl a little more bulk than some other knits would. Unfortunately I didn't have any of my in stock fabric washed for this test so I have no examples to show this time. If you still want to browse what I have though, please check out the shop. I have both jersey knit and interlock knit that would work perfectly for this top.
As always, I'd love to hear from you. Leave me some love in the comments below!
