The Benchwarmer Tee is a perfectly oversized, slightly retro T-shirt inspired by the boxy tees of the '90s, with a relaxed fit, dropped shoulders and plenty of room to move. Choose short or long sleeves for any season. It can be sewn entirely on an overlocker or with a zigzag stitch on a regular sewing machine, so it comes together fast. It's a great first knit project or a quick, satisfying sew.
Sizes: XXS - 6XL
Skills you'll practise: sewing with knits, zigzag stitch or serger
Fabric Recommendations: Knit or jersey fabric with at least 20% crosswise stretch and good recovery. The oversized body doesn't need much stretch, but a little is important for a comfortable neckband.
Notions: Coordinating thread
