EQUINOX TEE • Pattern
Sorry, currently out of stock
By PATTERN FANTASTIQUE, Equinox Tee is a paper sewing pattern.
Garment Details: The Equinox Tee is a reinvention of a classic 60’s tee. Pair with your fave jeans whilst channelling today’s Jane Birkin.
The neckline is widened to a subtle boat neck leading into a dropped shoulder with bold, round sleeve caps. Skimming over the bust and dropping straight to high hip with no waist shaping. A slightly cropped body length with subtly curved hemline finishing just below the high hip.
The two sleeve options include the classic cap with a generous hem width, or a very cute bell flare, landing at bracelet length. Giving an easy to wear basic unique edge. This will be a high rotation, wardrobe favourite.
Sizing: This is a multi-sized pattern Australian sizes 6 - 16. Sizing chart can be found here.
Fabric Suggestions: The Equinox tee suits basic cotton knits, interlock, "rugby knit", merino knit, fleece and french terry are all suitable. Keep Lycra / Elastane to a minimum of 5% or less. Too much stretch makes for a stiff neckband. Ponti weights or viscose, silk, linen, super drapey knits aren't suited for this pattern.

Bell sleeve option - 200cm fabric width: 120cm, 120 - 150cm fabric width: 130cm
