Kate Tee - PDF Sewing Pattern

The tee you’ll want to sew (and wear) on repeat!

The Kate Tee is that perfect balance of chic and easy that makes you reach for it again and again. A relaxed-fit knit top with clean lines and subtle shaping, it’s designed to elevate your everyday wardrobe with quiet refinement. The distinctive rounded shoulder seams flow into cut-on sleeves for a smooth silhouette that skims the body without clinging.

With gentle waist shaping and a length that hits just below the high hip, Kate is equally suited for tucking in or worn loose for effortless ease. The almond-shaped neckline is finished with a neckband, while the wide sleeve bands provide a crisp finish to the short cut-on sleeves.

Crafted for makers who appreciate refined details, Kate sews up quickly and is a satisfying instant gratification project. Whether you sew with your overlocker or regular sewing machine, the clear construction order ensures a polished and professional result.

For this pattern, I recommend knit fabrics with good drape and some stretch such as linen jersey, slub knits, and lightweight viscose or rayon jerseys for a soft, relaxed feel. Cotton jersey, cotton-spandex blends, interlock knits, or rib knits with more body can also be used for a slightly more structured silhouette.

I wear the blue and rust linen jersey samples in size 34. Lilli wears the white sample in size 52 with no modifications. For reference, I am 5'3" (160 cm) tall.
