Three Tees 917 (Printed in Envelope)
Three Tees 917 (Printed in Envelope)
Loose-fitting Tee with several variations. Short sleeve or long sleeve, round neck or turtleneck and shirt, tunic or dress length.
Multi Sized: XS - XL
Printed in Envelope: This pattern is only available as a pre-printed tissue pattern.
Suggested Fabrics: Knit fabrics with LYCRA, such as rayon/LYCRA jersey, matte jersey, rayon lightweight jacquard woven, rayon challis, and fabrics with heavy drape. Lightweight Ponte and jersey fabrics are an excellent choice for any length, neckline variation or sleeve. Avoid stiff fabrics that don't drape.
Woven fabrics: When using a woven fabric increase the circumference of the neckline and if using the turtleneck, add length to fit new neckline.
The Three Tees pattern is a wonderful creative option pattern. You can use the pattern as is or add design lines, pleats, drawstrings and anything that comes to mind! With the many variations that this pattern offers it is sure to become a favorite design tool.
The cut of a pattern means everything when simple lines come together. Spend your creative time choosing the sleeve and length combinations and the pattern will take care of the rest. Great with # 824 Wide Leg or Taper Pant patterns.
Suggested design options:
- Tee length is cute color blocked. Split the pattern at the desired lines and add seam allowance.
- Because the pattern only has 2 pattern pieces, adding design line seams, pleats, pockets or anything you can think of is easy. Be creative!
- Fingertip length is most flattering worn with pants or leggings. Hem should be at the narrowest part of the thigh.

Marry quality stretch knit fabrics—a modern wardrobe staple—with clean silhouettes to capitalize on their stretch, recovery and drape. Try Christine Jonson Patterns #519 (sizes XS-XL), a shawl collar swing jacket, and #330 (sizes 4-22) a slim shirt with self-faced darted waistband and back slit. Cotton/LYCRA creates a dramatic drape in the jacket and smooth fit in the body-hugging skirt, while Rayon/LYCRA blend adds a hint of shimmer to #917 (sizes XS-XL), a loose-fitting tee offering three hem and two sleeve lengths, plus a turtleneck option.
