Named Patterns - Ole Tee and Pants Set

About Ole 

Olo is a relaxed but elegant set that consists of a long sleeve tee and wide leg pants with high, elasticated waist and no side seams. You can sew the straight-cut tee as either a dainty rolled-hem funnel neck, or a deep V-neck with binding. The blouse hem, sleeves and leg openings can all be finished with a rolled hem or a simple turnup.

Olo pants are casual but stylish wide leg pants with high, elasticated waist and no side seams. You can sew the leg openings with either a dainty rolled-hem, or a regular wide turnup.

The Fabric

Select a light to medium-weight knit fabric with approx. 40 – 50% stretch. A lighter and slightly drapey fabric is recommended for the rolled hem variation, while the V-neck works better with medium-weight, stable knits. Make sure to use an interfacing that also has at least 30% stretch. You will need 30 cm (12”) of the interfacing for light, and 15 cm (6”) for medium-weight fabrics.
