I sew and test patterns A LOT, and so when I have a chance to sew something that's "for fun" I have a few go to designers and patterns.

This last week as I was thinking about
what I wanted to sew Pickle Toes Petra Taylor Ladies Tee kept peeking my
interest. I love Pickle Toes for my boys and youngest daughter, but I
haven't sewn a lot of their adult clothing. I had intentions of sewing
all of the "adult" sized people in my house something new. But
of course life and illness got in the way.
So, Miss. Opinionated Teen got to pick the
fabrics I’ve been collecting (It’s not a bad thing if you call it a
collection. Hoarding is bad, collecting
is acceptable. Lol!) And I sewed away.
I love the different lengths of the Petra
Taylor Tee. Originally I wanted to do a
dress for her, but the panel she chose wasn’t long enough; so I made a tunic
length instead. There are also five
different options for sleeve length; Cap, short, elbow, ¾ and long sleeve. For this top, I chose to do the cap
sleeve. It also comes with so many more
options, hood, color blocked stripes, thumb hole cuffs, curved hem, hem band
and arm warmers! I didn’t make any of
those options this time. It’s WAY too
hot already for long sleeves and hoods.
The Petra Taylor tee is designed to be a
fit ‘n flare style which means it’s flattering to the majority of silhouettes
and hangs so nicely.
For this go around because I was using a
panel, I didn’t do the color blocking so it was really quick to cut out and
even quicker to sew. The longest part
was measuring and clipping the hems, and truthfully that didn’t take long at
all.
One of the things I love the very most
about a pattern is it’s versatility. I
have a lot of patterns, but there are always those that I come back to when I
need to make something quick and looks nice.
The Ladies Petra Taylor Tee is very much that pattern!
