Some Tennis Tees and Tanks

3/23/2024

So I started playing tennis at an indoor club in January 2024. I had a few tops I'd accumulated made out of the new-to-me performance jersey. It turns out that I really like playing in this material. I only have 3 of these, though, and those that I have are a little tacky. One is a shirt I got after doing the Rugged Maniac event. It's got a lot of writing on it, my favorite of which is "Finisher" in big letters on the back hahahaha. Another is one I got for Xmas, and it's got a company logo on it because the giver could get a lot of tchotchke from her job. The other one turned up a few years ago in the wash and no one claimed it. It's black with weirdly shaped stripes down the side.

When I remembered that I had a stash of Nike performance jersey—blue, red, maroon, and black—I decided to make some tops for tennis. I had already used some blue and black to make a Jalie raglan top that I use as a lightweight pullover, and I ended up getting 5 tops out of the fabric I had left.

It's still cold here, so T-shirts seemed to make sense, but it has been warm a few days, making me realize I'll want tanks when the time comes. So I made a mix of both. In the end, what I sewed was determined by how much fabric I had.

I made 3 tees shirts and two tanks.
  • Jalie 3245 tee. I would have liked all raglans for the tees, but there wasn't enough material, and I could only get one raglan. Even though I love that Jalie 2676 raglan top, I thought it might be too loose fitting for tennis, so I used this other Jalie pattern I had.
  • Aura tanks. I just got this for this project, and I'm very happy with it.
  • Jalie 2005 tees. I have had this pattern a long time! It is a great pattern.
