NOT! For Knits Tee-Shirt 18" Doll Clothes Pattern

37 reviews   |  

Do you love the simplicity of classic tee-shirts? Does the thought of working with knits make your teeth chatter and your knees tremble? Are the dolls in your life begging you for a fashionable tee, but find you cowering in the woven section of the fabric store?

Relax--now you can hold you head high with confidence, thanks to the NOT! For Knits Tee-Shirt PDF Pattern, by Forever 18 Inches. Specifically designed for woven fabrics, this tee features easy dolman-style sleeves, a rounded hem, a working pocket, and a no-facing neckline. You'll learn how to sew several easy finishes for the hem and neckline, and can even make the tee in a longer dress variation.

Thumb your nose at those stretchy, unpredictable knits while you quickly sew up one adorable top after another. End your days of shame and inadequacy, and fill the closets of little vinyl people and their human friends with classic tees in every hue! The NOT! For Knits Tee-Shirt Pattern will allow you back into their good graces--and you won't even need to mention that it has an "Easy" rating.

This is a great pattern! It's a quick sew and it pairs well with pants and skirts. I've made about three, so far. It fits well, too. I would buy from this company again.

Love this pattern

I love this pattern! It's really simple and gives me so much for variety for shirts. I really wanted it for boy shirts since the only ones for woven fabric are collared shirts. I cut it a little longer and a little more straight/less curvy for boys and it's great. I've made 2 so far, 1 as the pattern is already and 1 modified for boys. It goes together really quick and easy. I have plans for many more.

Love it!

Was looking for a shirt to make of woven fabric that could be embroidered on. Found this and it’s perfect. Used a butterfly that fills the front perfectly. The girls were fighting over who got it and Kit won out. Have promised to make more for the others soon.

Not for Knits Tee Shirt

This was a great pattern. Very detailed instructions - as a pretty experienced sewer I highly recommend these patterns for beginner sewers.
