Laundry Day Tee
This pattern is tailor made for serger construction. Choose which ever view you would like to make. I will suggest that if you are new to serging or garment construction that you avoid the V-neck option. The Laundry Day Tee uses a basic 4 thread serging technique. For those of you with coverhem, I will cover hemming your tunic using a coverstitch. For those of you without coverhem capacity- a coverhem serger will be provided for you to try OR I will show you an alternative hemming method using a three thread wide or a 2 thread flatlock stitch.
When choosing fabric for your Tee, avoid very lightweight knits. These are difficult to sew if you are a beginner- actually for anybody. Get a knit that is at least t-shirt weight.
The pattern must be purchased from LoveNotions.com. It is sells for $5 or if you join their Facebook group, there is a code to get it for free. This is a PDF downloadable pattern. There are comprehensive directions on sizing and how to print out the pattern at home. I chose to use pdfplotting.com and have the whole thing printed out. This is a more expensive option, but this is my preference. You can also have a partial pattern printed out just for your size. This is less expensive. Just a note of caution, check out the prices for printing large format files. Staples was more than two times as much and that includes factoring in shipping costs.
