Oct 10, 2024 | Barrington Boxy Tee, Classic Tee, LDT, New Pattern Release | 0 comments

There are a thousand t-shirt patterns out there… but THESE are the three you’ll actually end up wearing! And they each serve a different purpose. Stick around to find out which tee is perfect for YOU and why the new Barrington Boxy Tee might just become your new favorite!

Big Tee News

Today, we are proud to introduce the all-new Barrington Boxy Tee, a pattern that’s as stylish as it is versatile! Whether you’re layering up for fall or dressing down for a casual weekend, this tee brings a modern, boxy silhouette to your wardrobe. Available in sizes XS to 5X, this pattern offers four sleeve options, three different necklines (crew, scoop, and v), and includes options for split faced hems.

What’s the difference?

Now, let’s talk about how Barrington Boxy compares to two of our other popular tee patterns here at Love Notions—the Classic Tee and the Laundry Day Tee.

Classic Tee

First up, the Classic Tee—a timeless, semi-relaxed fit that’s the perfect everyday basic. Like the Barrington, it comes in sizes XS to 5X, has four sleeve options, and offers three necklines: crew, scoop, and v-neck. It’s semi-relaxed, so it’s slightly more fitted than the Barrington, but still comfy enough for any occasion. It also features a longer length and is available in kids sizing!

Oh, and did I mention? The Classic Tee is FREE during our current October site-wide sale! ANDfrom now on, you can also get it for free when you subscribe to our newsletter, text list, or join our free FB support group. This is the perfect go-to if you wanna encourage a friend to start sewing, btw.

Laundry Day Tee

And then we have the Laundry Day Tee. This one is your go-to if you’re looking for more than just a t-shirt. What sets this one apart is that quintessential SWING. That swing style makes it perfect for layering or wearing as a standalone tunic or dress (and let’s be honest, the swing gives the tummy a little more room to breathe and relax). It’s super versatile with three hem lengths—shirt, tunic, or knee-length dress—and five sleeve options, from sleeveless to long sleeves. Plus, it features three necklines a little different from the others —scoop, v-neck, and even a cowl for a bit of flair!

Barrington Boxy Tee

But what sets the Barrington apart? Why did Tami see the need for a new knit tee offering in the LN collection? Well, its *boxy* fit is on-trend and perfect for pairing with jeans, skirts, or layering with jackets and cardigans – BUT that boxy fit still allows for some pretty shaping throughout and at the bust. Just expect a more straight, slightly wider fit through the sides. This results in a very different, more current & stylish fit than the other two more basic tees. Plus, the sophisticated split hem adds lots of modern style, and the facing on that hem gives it a super clean, polished finish. All in all, the boxy fit is designed to be easy to sew and wear, making it perfect for beginner sewists or anyone who wants a quick, stylish project!
