Description
The Skyline Tee is a versatile, fitted t-shirt pattern featuring five neckline options and four interchangeable sleeve styles, allowing you to create a t-shirt suitable for any season or occasion. You can choose between a full-length or cropped hem. This pattern is ideal for use with stretch knit fabrics that offer at least 50% stretch both vertically and horizontally.
Version #1 features low scoop necklines at the front and back.
Version #2 has a low scoop front neckline with a high back neckline.
Version #3 offers a jewel neckline.
Version #4 provides a V-neck, with options for a wide neckband (4a) or a low, narrow neckband (4b).
Sleeve A is a slim, long sleeve.
Sleeve B is a short sleeve that falls just above the elbow.
Sleeve C is a short, cap sleeve.
Sleeve D is a gathered, long sleeve that narrows at the forearm.
The full-length hem sits just above the hip, while the cropped hem ends at the navel.
Recommended Fabric
Light to medium weight 4-way stretch knit fabrics with at least 50% horizontal and vertical stretch, such as cotton jersey, bamboo jersey, or stretch rib knit. Good stretch recovery is recommended to maintain neckband shape, but be mindful that too much recovery could lead to a tighter fit.
Notions
Note: The size ranges have been drafted from different blocks. The curvy size range (sizes 16 – 34) is fit on a base size 24 that is approximately 5’6″ – 5’7″ (168 – 170 cm) tall and does not grade in height. Cup sizes may be offered for C/D, E/F and G/H depending on the style. There are differences between the curvy and standard sizes 16 – 20. The shoulders on the curvy sizes are narrower, the cups are fuller, and the tummy and hips are rounder than for the standard sizes.
