Loading... Please wait...Long, lean, and slightly slouchy, this wardrobe essential is designed for any fluid, drape-y knit or jersey fabric...try tissue weight or mesh knits, silk-y jersey or lightweight open-weave sweater knits. Fibers to look for include rayon, viscose, modal, silk, bamboo, merino and cashmere.
Relaxed-fit T-Shirts have a gently shaped silhouette, optional breast pocket(s), self fabric trim at the neckline and finish at the thigh. Choose a short, 3/4 length or extra long sleeve; try a solid, bi-color or color-blocked body; and select a wide scoop, relaxed ‘V’, or classic boat-neck for your personalized, one-of-a-kind T-Shirt shape.
This modern classic is perfect for year round wear, and it’s a great layering piece. Wear it loose over jeans or pants for a casual look, or for a more dressy outfit, try it with any straight-cut pants, jeans or skirt...just tuck it in, and gently blouse it over the waistband. Gorgeous!

For the solid-colored body, long sleeved version, all sizes need around 2 yards /184cm fabric. For the bi-colored, short sleeved version, all sizes need around 1 yard /92cm fabric for the upper bodice & sleeves, plus another 1 yard /92 cm contrast fabric for the lower bodice. For the color-blocked, 3/4 sleeved version, all sizes need around 3/4 yards / 69 cm of fabric #1 for the upper bodice & sleeves, plus 3/8 yard / 32cm of fabric #2 for the mid section, and ½ yard /40cm of fabric #3 for the lower section.
All fabric amounts are for 60”/150cm wide fabric

I like the slouchy style, and I like the various color blocking options you can choose. Going down a couple sizes this top is just right with the amount of ease and it has such a fun casual look that can be worn so many ways. I like the loose flowy look to it.
Actually, I would like to lengthen this into a dress.
I made mine in a pretty ITY knit and plan to make several more!

I have now made 3 of these Ts and will make more! I can now make a T that I love in 3 hours - and that includes cutting time!
The only modifications I had to make was cutting a size smaller than I expected (no real hardship), and raising the neck line on the V-neck. The 2 Ts I made of T-shirt jersey were beautiful, but the cotton interlock T seemed a wee bit sloppy with the heavier knit, so I added a front and back center seam to bring it in a bit - and like it even better! I'm wearing it as I type.
The sleeves and neck binding fit in with out being fussy, and though a relaxed fit - the pattern isn't at all sloppy. Great Job!
