CKC Hollis Crossover Hem Tee

I love this top! 💓 It's more than just a basic tee, but it's just as comfortable as one!


This is CKC Hollis! This pattern makes such a cute top to pair with jeans or leggings, and is a surprisingly easy sew! You have a few options for sewing this pattern!



The Sleeves:

 This pattern comes with different sleeve lengths to make the perfect top for any time of year. The sleeves are finished with a simple cuff, for a very easy finish! I love not having to measure and pin a hem! 😉 I made both of my tops with long sleeves, because it's so cold right now! I wanted a couple of tops to keep me warm!


 The Crossover Band:

 There are two options for the bottom crossover on this pattern. For each of my two shirts, I used the curved hem band. You can optionally use a solid (straight/ non-curved) band. Both of them look beautiful - I feel like the straight band might be slightly more beginner-friendly, however.



The Lengths: 

 Shannon has the pattern pieces marked for different lengths already. You can choose to cut at petite line, regular line, or tall line. She has a hem band marked for each length so that it'll fit perfectly. I used the regular cut line, because I am 5'5" tall, and it is the perfect length for me.

The Fit:

 This top has more of a comfortable, relaxed fit. I really love it! The length of the top hits me long enough that I could comfortably wear it with leggings, which I love - More options!



Fabric: 

This pattern is drafted for knit fabrics.  I used double brushed poly for both of mine! I love DBP because there are so many prints available and it's so warm this time of year! 💓

The white floral is from a Knitpop Scrap Box! I have really enjoyed my scrap box and definitely recommend you checking them out! http://bit.ly/2KKjW9y (affiliate link)

The Tank Dress 3-ways by Pattern Emporium

It's been a while since I posted. I've been sewing, helping my kindergartener with virtual school, and living, which just hasn't left me with a lot of time for blogging! Life happens!  But... I've kind of missed writing, and I decided that now was the perfect time to make a new post. I had the opportunity to sew a pattern I really liked, and I got excited enough to find the motivation to write about it! 😉 **Disclosure: I have included my affiliate link to the pattern used in this post. If you choose to purchase a Pattern from Pattern Emporium using my link, I will receive a small commission of the sale at no additional cost to you.** The pattern I tested is from Pattern Emporium. I love their patterns for a few reasons. I've posted before that I have kind of broad shoulders and on with some designers I have to adjust patterns to fit them. There are a couple of designers that seem to fit me well with no adjustments to the pattern pieces and this is one of them. I
