Love the look of jerseys but perhaps your not a sports fan? No problem!
Love sports but can’t find a cute jersey with the right fit? This pattern is for you!
The Sportsball Tee is a casual knit shirt modeled after the classic American football jersey, but not limited to sports fans! The yoke sits on top of the shoulders and creates the V-neck opening when stitched to the main body. Its horizontal seams on the front and back provide a blank canvas to add your “team” name for some added creativity and go at surface design. Or keep it minimal for an equally fun look.
Choose from a high or low V-neck and any length sleeve you prefer. Your team, your rules!
The sleeves, which feature a drop shoulder and Dolman-style shape, can be sewn with sporty stripes for extra fan flair.
What “team” will you be on??
