Fabric suggestions
The Good Tiemes Tee is designed for knit fabrics with a high minimum stretch percentage of 80% crossgrain (selvedge to selvedge). Due to the nature of a mockneck t-shirt, the neckband is snug to fit around your head and so you must use a fabric with a high enough stretch percentage to be able to comfortably pull the garment on overhead. The yoke pieces will also benefit from this high stretch percentage, as the neckline needs to stretch to fit overhead too. The remaining pattern pieces can be cut from a much lower stretch percentage knit fabric, as they are very loose fitting! The neckband and yoke will benefit from a knit fabric with good recovery – think of fabrics with a small amount of elastane or spandex. A few recommended fabrics include cotton jersey knit, bamboo/modal jersey knit, power mesh, & stretch velvet.
While almost any stretch knit material with an 80% stretch percentage will work for the Good Tiemes Tee, there are some suggestions to keep in mind. Lightweight fabrics with a nice drape will fall closer to the body and might be a good idea for the yoke pieces on View B. If you go too heavy or too stiff for the yoke fabric (especially on View B), then you might end up with a very structural appearance along the curved shoulders and could result in a bit of a pointed look at the yoke shoulder seam and sleeve juncture. Pairing a heavier, stiffer fabric on the bottom could work nicely though! The 80% minimum stretch percentage is really aimed at the #6 Neckband piece. You can easily go down in the stretch percentage needed for the rest of the pattern pieces! In fact, you can mix knits and wovens in this pattern! Use a stretch knit for the #6 Neckband, #1 Front Yoke, and #4 Back Yoke, but feel free to play around with a non-stretch woven material for the rest of the pattern pieces. For View A, you can sub out the #7 Tunnel for bias tape as well if you prefer. View A can be cut completely in stretch mesh, but this may add to the difficulty level.
