Lola Layered Tee Multi-way Sewing Pattern
✿ LOLA LAYERED TEE: PDF SEWING PATTERN ✿
Two tees in one? Yes, please. The Lola Layered Tee is a Y2K and coquette-inspired double-layer T-shirt pattern. A short-sleeve tee sits on top of a long-sleeve tee, so it looks like you layered two pieces, but you only sew one garment. It’s the handmade top that doesn’t scream “homemade.”
There are no commercial patterns that look this good, so I designed it myself. Mix and match the details and sew a completely different tee every time. ♡

🧵 SKILL LEVEL: ADVANCED BEGINNER
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
If you’ve sewn with knit fabrics before, even once, you can make this. The guide is fully illustrated and walks you through every option. Techniques used: sewing neckbands, finishing with a twin needle, and optionally lettuce hems and cuffs.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎀 RECOMMENDED FABRICS
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Stretch knits with good recovery:
• Cotton jersey (best for beginners)
• Cotton-spandex jersey
• Rib knit (great for the neckband, cuffs and waistband)
• Lightweight viscose or bamboo jersey for a drapier look
For lettuce hems, choose a knit with good stretch. Avoid woven fabrics and very thick sweater knits. Always test on a scrap first.
The fabric yardage is inside the PDF.
Notions: ballpoint or stretch needle, twin needle (for the finish), matching thread, optional buttons for the pocket flap, optional lightweight knit interfacing.
