The Details
It’s time to channel your inner Jem & the Holograms fan girl (or maybe you’re more of a Misfit?) – let us introduce you to the Emmie Tee!
Emmie comes complete with two bodice versions – plain or slashed, as well as two different bodice lengths and a long sleeved pattern piece for those of us heading into the cooler months.
View 1 is ready to tackle your knit fabric scrap pile by combining the classic 80s slashed and pieced bodice with grown-on sleeves and a rounded neckline. The fabric combinations you can put together are endless – go for full rainbow, neutral colour-block or pattern clash perfection. You can even keep your top more subtle by using the same plain fabric for all pieces and letting the design lines sing for themselves.
If a classic t-shirt is more up your street, there’s also a cut-on-the fold front bodice (View 2), making construction even quicker and simpler for those just starting on their knit-fabric sewing adventure.
With a more relaxed fit through the bodice and a very gentle dropped shoulder/grown-on sleeve, both views include cut lines for a classic length t-shirt bodice as well as a long-line hem.
Then, depending on your season, keep the cuffed grown-on short sleeves or use the easy Turn & Hem long-sleeved pattern piece for year-round comfort.
Skill Level
Emmie is designed for knit-fabric beginners through to advanced seamstresses. If you’ve never sewn with knits before, Emmie is the perfect project to dip your toes into the wonderful world of knits.
Get creative with piecing together different knit fabrics or make the plain t-shirt – both are quick makes with techniques including sewing on a neckline binding, attaching cuffs to the short sleeves, and attaching long sleeves with hems.
Fabric Options
Look for light to medium weight fabrics (around 180GSM). Fabric should have good stretch across the grain, approximately 40%, with good recovery.
Cotton/elastane (spandex/lycra) blends are the best choice for a breathable and easy-care garment that is comfortable and fits well.
All variations can be made with the same fabric as the body, or rummage through your knit-stash for contrasting colour and pattern blocking potential.
If using multiple fabrics, try to keep these the same weight and composition for a uniformly finished tee.
