Fehr Trade Tessellate Tee

Buy the Tessellate Tee sewing pattern from Fehr Trade. This long- or short-sleeved tee has a banded neck and asymmetric seaming. You can add thumb cuffs to the sleeves (without any hand sewing!), a hood with a special opening for your ponytail, or a zippered back pocket (perfect for cycling and hiking). Choose to add just one, or even all three features! The thumb cuffs are also interchangeable with the hand mitts from the women's Surf to Summit Top. The geometric seaming on the front and back makes this top perfect for colour-blocking.
