Iris - Pleated Tee PDF

Iris is a t-shirt pattern designed for knit fabrics which is easy to sew and easy to wear! If you want to stick with a classic basic, there are plain sleeve options in short and three-quarter lengths. But if you crave something just a little more interesting, there are two pleated options for the sleeves. Both pleat designs feature cleverly intersecting pleats which are surprisingly simple to sew. Iris features a classic women’s t-shirt fit which includes waist shaping without being clingy. The neckline is a classic crew neck. All sorts of knits work for this design. Emphasize the sculptural details of the pleats in a double knit, or let them drape in a slinky viscose. Or simply sew a classic tee with plain sleeves in a classic cotton t-shirting!

Fabric RequirementsBelow are the maximum requirements for the length of fabric needed. Allow extra fabric if lengthening the top, or matching a large print. Because knit fabric doesn’t generally come narrower than 140cm/55” wide, only one width is shown in the chart. Skill levelIris uses standard techniques for sewing knit garments. Each step of the way you will be guided by thorough illustrations and explanations, making this a great pattern for learning along the way. The pleated sleeves are achievable for beginners and are a great way for them to grow their confidence. Sizing Available in sizes 28 - 48. Our model wears a size 34.
