FABRIC

Please refer to the FABRIC REQUIREMENT CHART as one of the last images on this product listing. You can magnify this image if viewing it on a mobile phone whilst in a fabric store.

Most lightweight jersey knits with at least 25% stretch, made with cotton, soy/organic cotton, bamboo or rayon.  We recommend at least 5% lycra content with your fabric (cotton, bamboo or rayon is perfect) as this ensures the fabric has good "memory" so your Undercover Top keeps its shape for a long time.

DIFFICULTY

Confident beginner. A perfect first stretch sewing project.

SIZE & FITTING

Each purchase comes with 4 sizes (please refer last image for size chart and international size comparisons):

WHAT DO I GET WITH MY PURCHASE?

Please note you are purchasing a digital pattern that will be sent directly to your email inbox after payment. You can print this pattern at home on A4 or US letter-sized paper or take it to a print shop for large scale printing (AO size). *You will not receive a hard copy printed pattern.*

Instant download available immediately after checkout includes:

1. Instructions

2. PAH Pattern file (PAH=Print at home)
For printing in A4 or US Letter on a home printer. Printing at home is the most cost-effective, and sticking your pattern tiles together to make your full size pattern is easy. Further information for printing at home can be found in our Resources section here. 

3. AO Pattern file
AO is a large scale file designed to be printed at a Print Copy Shop. You cannot print this on your home printer as it is too big. If you choose to use this large file you will pay extra to have it printed but you do not have to stick anything together.

You can use the ADOBE LAYERS FEATURE to open the PAH pattern file and print only the size you need (and eliminate the "noise" of the unwanted sizes). You can also use the URL and bookmark links within the file to quickly access information and support. Download Adobe Reader for free (for Windows and Mac) here.

I finally used this pattern to make sumner PJs. I did the sleeveless version with some cotton shorts using fabric for both from The Fine Cloth Company. Great fit especially the length. Very comfy, essential for sleepwear. I took the opportunity to trial a picot edge on the hem, neck and armhole edges. Perfect for that. Love this pattern & with use again and again.

Tanks!

Made the undercover scoop neck tank for me and my Mum out of a fine merino, did a self rib for one, cut on the bias as recommended in a Youtube video, and a cotton rib for the other cut as per the pattern. They were a great fit and the neck and armhole edges sat perfectly. They made a lovely warm layer and I am happy with the fit and the style. Jane

Merino under tops

It all went well. I made the top twice and had no problems. Pretty straight forward and fit well.

Long time cotton- sewer - 1st time stretch…

My first stretch project! Went smoothly and the top is a great design. I made it to fit under a vest for winter. Perfect! Thanks TSR for making this achievable

Versatile Simple and Stunning

Such a simple to make and well fitting top. I’ve made both the round and scoop neck, long sleeve tee. Will be making another soon as the are so easy to wear. I’ve been living in them. Using them for teaching and doing yoga, throwing on with jeans and wearing as an under layer.

Undercover Top

I've made a few of these in recent weeks and all have turned out well - although it does depend on the choice of knit I use! Made a couple in Merino and one in cotton knit. Will definitely use this again and again- it really is a good basic to have.
