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.
