It has an easy fit and is as comfortable to wear as your favorite T-shirt, but it brings a touch of elegance to every day with its shoulder yokes and pleats and its feminine shaping. Leave the sleeves uncuffed (View A) or stitch the cuffs in place to secure them (View B). The pattern comes with separate pieces for A\/B, C, and D cup sizes to help you make a great fitting shirt.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Suggested Fabrics<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Designed for lightweight cotton knit fabric with moderate stretch. This tee can also be sewn from drapey woven fabrics, but you may need to go up a size or two for a good fit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chai Tee Sew-Along Schedule<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Day 1:<\/em> Assemble the Shirt Front, Yokes, and Back<\/p>\n<p><em>Day 2:<\/em> Finish the Neckline<\/p>\n<p><em>Day 3:<\/em> Assemble and Attach the Sleeves, Finish the Tee<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to Participate<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Be sure to get your pattern if you haven\u2019t already.
