Named Clothing - PDF Sewing Pattern - LAURIE Pleated Tee

The Laurie Pleated Tee PDF Sewing Pattern by Named Clothing is a simple everyday T-shirt with an interesting twist. This straight-cut, hip-length top features wide pleats across the front, adding shape and detail to an otherwise relaxed silhouette.

Designed with short sleeves and a classic neckband, Laurie is an easy-to-wear style that works with jeans, trousers, shorts and skirts. The front pleats create a distinctive finish without complicated design details, making this a useful addition to your handmade wardrobe.

The pattern is designed for lightweight jersey fabrics with approximately 40–50% stretch. Choose a soft, lightweight cotton jersey or another stretch knit with good recovery. If your main fabric is particularly drapey or has limited recovery, use a separate rib knit for the neckband. Ideally, the rib knit should be a similar weight to your main fabric so the neckline sits neatly without feeling bulky.

This beginner-friendly T-shirt sewing pattern is available in sizes EUR 32–56, US 0–24 and UK 4–28. It's a good choice if you're looking for a women's jersey top pattern, a pleated T-shirt sewing pattern or a simple short-sleeve tee with a little extra detail.
