The Wasabi and Sake Tees by Sew Like My Mom

Hi! The Wasabi Tee (and dress) and Sake Tee (and dress) by Melissa of Sew Like My Mom are in heavy rotation at our house! (as is my craving for sushi....)



The Wasabi Tee comes in two size ranges (12m-8 years and 8-16 years) and includes separate pattern pieces for boys and girls, as well as separate cut lines for sleeveless vs sleeves (short or long are included though you could figure out something in between if you wanted). The Wasabi Tee also includes an optional kangaroo pocket and a dress length. My favorite feature is the hood with its darts! I have never sewn a hood with darts and I love the fit achieved through the darts! The hood can be lined or unlined and also crosses over in the front of the tee or dress (which is another one of my favorite features).









The Sake Tee (and dress) is the women's version of the Wasabi Tee (and dress) and comes in sizes XXS to 3XL. You already know the hood is my favorite. A close second is the shaping through the torso for the girls and women. It's so flattering and is still incredibly comfortable.








The Wasabi and Sake Tees are designed for fabrics like cotton lycra, interlock, french terry, and similar fabrics. I pretested some in interlock and a rib knit and used a waffle knit for these. The sleeves and bottom hems are hemmed with a traditional hem, though you could add bands if that's the look you're going for. The patterns include the option to print in layers so you can print just the size(s) you need. The pieces also include notches to line up the hood and sleeves, etc. The instructions are clear and include helpful text and photos with computer aided drawings.





Ansley's is a size nine in the chest with a ten length. Mine is a straight size L. These are based on our measurements and are our normal sizes for Sew Like My Mom Patterns.







This photo shoot was super quick. We were on our way to choreography for Ansley's hip hop team so we left early to take pictures since it would be dark when she was finished. As we pulled onto the street, the leaves were being blown and collected! We are usually pretty fast but had extra motivation! Ansley is my photographer and enjoys telling me how to pose. For the first time I let Lisbon take pictures of us with my phone and thought she did a decent job! (I have since let her use my camera and she did well too(!) and since it's all digital it doesn't matter if she takes a bunch. She's four).





I had a little freak out when I found these leggings for Ansley because they are WOMEN'S SIZES! I actually bought mine first because I had a coupon and they were on sale on top of a sale (so they were like 83% off or something) and I love the phone pocket. I sized up because that's what they had left in the store so they are too loose for an intense workout but perfect for like yoga or lounging. Anyway, Ansley's are also a little loose but since we are wearing leggings as pants that's totally acceptable. ;) I wish I could buy fabric like this! Anyone have a good source?



The Wasabi and Sake Tees and Dresses are on sale through Wednesday, October 24th.
