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.

Sizing
I draft and grade my sewing patterns for a height of 5’5” (1.65m) from size 34 to 60 (see below). When applicable, the size range is divided between 34-46, developed for B/C cup size, and 46-60, developed for a DD cup size.
If your body measurements are at least one size outside of the size range, I grade up or down at no cost.
See the sizing page for more information.
