Good morning, readers! Trudy from HotPatterns has generously offered to give away a copy of HotPattern’s new Layer Cake Tee pattern to one lucky CSC reader:
HotPatterns Athleisure Layer Cake Tee
Inspired by an Anthropologie top, here’s the description of this new pattern, in Trudy’s own words:
Layering is one of the secrets to a truly fashion forward look, so let your T do all the work for you in this layered beauty, perfect for all those tissue and lightweight knits, especially bamboo, modal, silk and rayon knits with a little stretch and a lot of drape. This one *will* also work in heavier knits like French terry, interlock and lightweight ponte or sweatshirting, but please proceed cautiously to avoid a bulky silhouette!
Relaxed-fit dolman sleeved pull-on knit top has an inserted wrap-over cowl neckline, and an inverted center back pleat. Top features a contrast V-neck faux-tank insert at the neck, plus contrast double-layer lower sleeves and a double layered hemline with a gentle frill.
This super-cool T is going to take your casual outfits to the next level…make this in different textures of your favorite solid color and teamwith matching or contrast yoga or track pants for a modern post-workout or lounging outfit, or try it in contrast colors and/or prints to wear with your favorite classic, skinny, bootcut or boyfriend jeans for a super-cool off-duty look.

Congratulations Joy!
I’ve just recently been learning to make knit tees for myself and have been looking for interesting patterns to try. This would be great!
I’ve had my eye on that since they first showed it. I have so many knits to use up, it’s a perfect pattern for me!
That pattern looks like fun to make. I always like like easy fun patterns.
I’d love to have this stylish pattern for a new spring top….Thanks Trudy!
Winning this give away would be my opportunity to try Hot Patterns. I like the layer cake idea and the versatility it offers. Random system please pick me.
I would love to win this pattern. I’ve not tried this company as yet. Would be a fun start!
This pattern looks fun. I would love to win it! I have plenty of too thin knits in my stash that I just don’t know what to do with that would probably work great.
I’ve never used a Hot Patterns pattern before. I’ve been interested, but not pulled the trigger. This would be a fantastic opportunity to test them out.
I would love to win this pattern! I am avid HP pattern lover and I rock a cowel neckline!!
I have never seen a Hot Patterns pattern before, and I would love to try this one.
I’d love to have this pattern to jump start my endevor to sew clothes I love to wear. I am tired of buying clothes that don’t quit fit my body.
I love this pattern and would sew it up right away! Thanks for the chance to win!
This looks like such a wonderful pattern! I would love to have it in my stash.
Would love to use this pattern, it looks so comfortable!
I would love to use this to make myself and then with my students. A great look that I think teens could really get behind. Plus, this pattern looks like ot would lend itself to upcyclcing very nicely.
As I have never tried any patterns from HotPatterns earlier, this would be my chance to do just so, as I do not know if their drafting suits my figure 🙂
I would love to be entered into the contest. Making this would be a new endeavor for me as I have never sewn a hot patterns or this type of pattern before.
I would love to win because the drapey collar is so unique from anything I’ve seen before.
I would love to win this pattern because it’s a super cool look AND a slightly more challenging pattern than a basic drapey t-shirt. Plus, I love cowls!!
I would love to win this. I’m just starting to sew with knits and this looks like a fun pattern to try!
This looks intriguing. I don’t know if I have the skill to make it but I do like the look.
I would love to try hot patterns!
This looks like a fun pattern to have. I would love to win it. I like hotpatterns because they design in larger sizes for the curvy lady. And who doesn’t love curves?
Thank you for hosting this giveaway. I would love to win this because I have put myself on a on more buying fabric or pattern budget….can you believe that?
Who wouldn’t want a pattern that takes all the work out of actual layering! I’d love to play around with this one!
This looks like a fun pattern! The colors in RTW and the fabrics used are not very flattering, especially for larger sizes. This is is cute and has potential. I haven’t seen a top I liked as much. Thanks!
What a super cool pattern! I would imagine it being ultra comfy 🙂
Really love the pattern – and the thought of using those light weight knits that are hanging around in the stash sounds too good to be true.
Love the pattern – I am sure it will make me much more fashionable than my normal want.
I’ve never used a hot patterns pattern and this one is so cute. I am trying to update my wardrobe with new stuff so this would help a lot.
I like the idea of using the same color with different knits incorporated.
Awesome pattern – thanks for the giveaway.
I’ve been looking for fun patterns so I’ll start sewing for myself instead of everyone else. This would be the perfect way to do that! Thank you for the chance to win!
