11 Stunning Top Patterns to Replace a T-shirt

11 Stunning Top Patterns to Replace your T-shirts

The Callie Top by See Kate Sew. It’s feminine, fitted, and flirty. I love the ruffle on the shoulder and the button-down back. And you can choose between a flutter and short sleeve.

Friday Harbor Dress/Top by Peek-A-Boo Patterns. Simple and classic with a henley neckline and rolled sleeves. I prefer this pattern in the blouse option, and would love to sew it.

Josephine Tunic and Blouse from Made by Rae. I LOVE the blouse version of this. The pin tucks are sweet and the elastic back keeps it flattering and comfy. Total win.

Yep the hubs stated for me to get out of tshirts as well. So I went shopping and ended up coming back to my own patterns and making a few.
Those tops are just adorable and I will pin them for later garment sewing.

Thanks!!!!

You already mentioned the Sugar Pop top, I can’t wait to sew that one. I have the Marigold top, which I also can’t wait to sew, mostly because I love the little collar. I think they make you look more dressed up. I love the Anna and the Lucy, those are way cute. One that I have been sewing lately is the easy tee from it’s always autumn. I have done the anthro drop version, with the knit on top and the woven on bottom. It looks fabulous, and it is so simple to wear! I have been loving the high/low option this summer to make it so I don’t have to layer to cover my backside.

  Ooh, I forgot the Marigold! thanks for reminding me. I’ll have to go check out Autumn’s tee–mixing knit and woven is such a fun look.

Oh this is brilliant! I’m loving the inspiration for updating my wardrobe. I haven’t made any of these and I’m usually a total tee-shirt girl but now I’m keen to try these and update my look!

All of these are great! I’m totally on a shirt sewing kick right now since having my baby I’m eager for some new shirts.

Boy am I sick of tee shirts too! I guess by the end of the summer I see that’s all we’ve been wearing. I love the Natalie and plan to give it a try. Thanks!

  I so agree! I made up the Natalie (I’ll show it next Monday) and it’s a great sew. I hope you get a chance to make one!

    I am looking forward to it. I have a fabric in my stash that I’m thinking will be great so I will be ready. I have enjoyed many of your blog posts and “hacks” and enjoy your style. This should be a fun week! Thanks!
