James Tee - Digital Sewing Pattern

$18.00

The James Tee is a classic Breton-style knit top with a boxy fit. The gently curved boatneck opening is wide enough to read as a boatneck, but not so wide that your bra straps will show. The neckline is finished simply with a fold to the inside & topstitched in place. The drop shoulders allow for a grown-on cap style sleeve, or you can choose to sew the sleeves pieces on, for a bracelet length sleeve. 

The straight side seams end with a split hem, with the back 1” longer than the front. The split side seam is finished with cotton twill tape, for a clean, ready-to-wear inspired finish.

Add on the Print on Demand Service to receive both the digital pattern & a printed pattern in the mail.
