Ultraviolet Tee #1703

Ultraviolet Tee #1703

Pattern Name:

Ultraviolet Tee #1703
Paprika Patterns & Tuesday Stitches



Pattern Description:

3 Views –

  • View A has a slight high/low shape (front to back respectively)
  • View B has a straight, even hem
  • View C has a curved hem
  • Optional breast pocket
  • Separate pattern and instructions for woven or knit fabrics

I sewed View B in a size 4 without any grading and decided not to have a pocket.

Designed for a confident beginner (someone who is ready or comfortable working with knits).


Pattern Sizing:
Sizes 0 – 20
Hip 35” – 64” (89 – 162.5 cm)
Cups A – F


Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it?

Yes, with clearly written instructions and pictures.


What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern?
I liked:

  • Quick and fun to sew.

 

Fabric Used:
Knit of unknown origin from my stash.

Pattern alterations or any design changes you made:
I stitched the neckband seam in the center of the back rather than matching it with a shoulder seam.  This helped me in two ways:  1. less bulk at the shoulder seam; 2 helps me know the back from the front.

 

Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others?
Yes and Yes.  I will certainly sew it again and recommend to others.


Conclusion:
Items I used to make the Ultraviolet Tee:

  • Knit fabric
  • Ballpoint needles
  • Serger
  • Sewing machine for hems
  • Scissors
  • Seam ripper

Wonderfully comfortable and perfect for warm weather.  This can also add warmth by layering over a long-sleeve shirt during the cooler evenings or winter months.

This Ultraviolet tee can be a nice evening top using lace with a lining.

A new TNT (tried and true) pattern for me.

In addition to the instructions provided, I used a video by Threads Magazine for the neckband and Tuesday Stitches 
Sewalong.

Note:  Pre-wash fabric, iron, go slow, and press each seam.  Use a light touch for knit and woven fabrics.
