Shift Adult Tee PDF Sewing Pattern

The Shift Adult Tee is your not-so-basic raglan tee - the shifted sleeve seams create interesting style lines and colorblocking options without compromising on comfort!  The order of construction is slightly "shifted" as well, which makes the Shift tee a fun, interesting, yet still a surprisingly quick sew!  

The Shift Tee comes in 2 views - view A makes a great every day t-shirt with a folded hem and view B features a slit at the front and the back in the diagonal side seams. Both views can be combined with long or short sleeves and come in a regular or short length - the regular length hits the hip and the short length hits between the belly button and the hip bone.

Next to the adult version of the Shift Tee, we also offer a kids version. Or get both the adult & kids version in a bundle!

Techniques involved include sewing with knits, straight & curved seams, hemming, sewing a slit (optional) and attaching ribbing.
