The Cuppa Tee is a basic ladies’ t-shirt, essential for every wardrobe!
The Cuppa Tee has a relaxed fit with gentle shaping. There are two necklines, three sleeve lengths and three hem options. Additionally, there is a separate pattern piece for those who require a full bust adjustment.
This pattern goes from XXS – 7XL.
Lighter weight knit fabrics such as cotton/Lycra jersey are perfect for this beginner-friendly pattern.
An overlocker/serger will create the neatest finish, but importantly a regular sewing machine is all you need for all options.
This listing is for 4 downloadable PDF files: Instructions, a print-at-home pattern, a copy shop pattern and a projector pattern.
Print the print-at-home pattern on A4/legal/letter sized paper.
Take the copy shop file to a professional printer to print onto large sheets of paper.
Use the projector file to project the pattern straight onto your fabric.
For more photos, inspiration and assistance please join the Waves & Wild Facebook Group.
The measurement charts for all W&W patterns can be found here.
The pattern is created in layers meaning. As a result you can print just the layers (sizes) you need.
The Four Seasons Joggers is another beginner-friendly pattern and it goes wonderfully with the Cuppa Tee.

A fabulous staple for any wardrobe. I found the sizing spot on for flattering my post-baby tum rather than highlighting it! The instructions made it straight forward to construct and it looks great under some heydays ☺️.

I’m not an experienced sewer, but using this pattern I now have a lovely well-fitting t-shirt 😁 The instructions are very clear and I found the pattern made up quickly..

This was my first pattern I ever created and it was sooooo easy. The step by step instructions were clear and easy to follow even for a non sewer like me. The print at home pattern was simple to put together, a bit time consuming as you would expect, but simple. Loved it so much I wanted to make a matching top for my daughter and used another brand pattern that I had already on hand… Never again! I ended up using the pattern pieces but sewing it together following the W&W instructions! Would recommend

I’m a busty person and this pattern has solved my problems with store-bought T-Shirts! The crew neck, short sleeve, straight hem, full bust version has become my wardrobe staple in lots of different jersey fabrics. I highly recommend this for busty people who are too lazy or unsure how to do a full bust adjustment by themselves. As with all Waves and Wild patterns, the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Great pattern!
