About this pattern

The ‘I’ll take one in every colour’ Emma T-Shirt Duo

Ah, the humble tee. We’ve all got one – or ten! – stashed away in our chest of drawers, but have you ever made one? Designed by Amanda Walker, this under-rated, but absolutely essential, staple will be one you turn to again and again. What’s more, this stretch-knit pattern doubles as a comfy dress, too – we do love an irresistible two-for-one deal.

Essentials

Jersey fabric, two or four-way stretch: dress, 2.2m (150cm); T-shirt, 1m (150cm)
Matching ribbon or tape
Hemming web

Cutting guide

Front T-shirt / dress: cut one on the fold
Back T-shirt / dress: cut one on the fold
Sleeve: cut one pair
Neck binding: cut a strip, 4.5cm x 56cm
1.5cm seam allowance used throughout, except for the neck binding where 1cm is used.

Top sewing tip

Fabric that contains elastane, such as the two we’ve used, needs to be cut out and handled gently. If any of the pattern pieces are stretched out of shape when you stitch, this will cause your garment to look distorted. To avoid this, make sure there’s plenty of space for the material to be fully supported.
