Body Twist Tee Sewing Pattern
At long last I've finished the PDF Sewing Pattern for the Body Twist Pattern Puzzle. It's a very large one piece pattern for the body of the garment with a double layer sleeve and ribbed neck trim. It's a soft and generous twist without being too tight. The construction is as simple as a tee-shirt without the need to finish any hems. Body and sleeves are double layers turned back on themselves. You'll find the history of this pattern development in these blog posts.
If you're thinking of making this sewing pattern you'll need to source some stretch mesh fabric. It's my favourite for the body twist tee. This design will also work well in light to very light stretch knit that has some elastane that's necessary for the twist to be comfortable. Stretch knit or mesh that is semi-opaque is particularly good as it emphasises the folded fabric layers in the twist.

About my Dior Dress
It all began when I came across this fabulous Dior Dress from 2012, and decided it was the perfect idea for a classic dress design. Imagine a stretch bodice, that fits easily and is very comfortable to wear. Then add a very special skirt, using signature fabric. The simplicity of the idea was just so attractive to me. And simplicity is something I really admire in both the design and construction of fashion clothing. And now that classic simplicity is available to you with my new sewing pattern: The Dior Dress, available in 6 sizes, including detailed cutting and sewing instructions.

Testing the Twist Tee
The Twist Tee pattern puzzle was always one of the easiest versions of jersey twist patterns I've ever produced. You don't even need your own garment blocks to make this pattern. Any simple top or tee shirt shape pattern is a good place to start for this project. The sample I have posted here is the double twist version. It's possible to make this as a single twist pattern from the original post if you have access to the appropriate fabric.
