Shout out to the T Dot! Rebecca Page's FREE Toronto T-Shirt Sewing Pattern Review

Did you know that when I was 18, I moved from Ottawa to Toronto, and stayed for 11 years?

And even though I've been back in Ottawa for 11 years, I still consider Toronto home. 

When the Rebecca Page FREE Toronto T-Shirt came up, I knew I NEEDED to create it! 


...And then I did my best Toronto-esque photos possible.

Did I mention this pattern is free?  You can't beat that! 

And a few days after making these lovelies, I was walking from the office for coffee through the mall, and this is definitely THE CURRENT STYLE.

It's a loose fit t-shirt with a short bodice, perfect for layering in any weather! 

Do your best Zoolander look in your Toronto T-Shirt!

You can practice your Tree Pose in your Toronto T-Shirt!

For this particular t-shirt, I mixed up fabric makers - The Fab Clique had a super sale on knit fabrics, so I picked up the back fabric (white with butterflies) for a steal. It's a nice super flowy lightweight cotton lycra


And as usual, the front fabric is from Water Tower Textiles, a lightweight 2-way stretch bamboo fabric.

With the Toronto T-Shirt, LIGHTWEIGHT fabrics are best - otherwise, it will have a boxier look. I prefer the flowy look.

The Toronto T-Shirt is a HOOT!

I paired my Toronto with my hacked Slim Fit Cargos and Strappy Cami.

I normally grade for my hips/waist - from a Medium Bust to XL Waist/Hips - with Rebecca Page Patterns, but with the loose fit of the shirt, I didn't grade, and kept this at a straight Medium.


I'm happy with the non-grading choice - it would of been WAY too flowy for my liking otherwise.

I didn't have to really pay attention to the instructions - this sew is really THAT easy! 

The armcycle isn't tight and perfect for my larger biceps - so all around I'm happy with the comfort level.

The fabric for this top is a loose sweater knit, also from Water Tower Textiles.  A great find as they clear out their winter fabric for summer flair.

And as you can see in the second picture above, the Toronto T-Shirt means getting bored of the Paparazzi .

The side view gives you an idea of what the top is like with a loose knit and no grading - I like it!

And the back drapes nicely over my big caboose.

So all in all, take a chance on this FREE Rebecca Page pattern, and be stylish like you're a true Torontonian!
