    Love Nora

    I have made this several times with the short sleeves and the cropped length and it is one of my favorite silhouettes for a t-shirt . It is great to pair with sweats or joggers or denim for lounge wear and I also like it during exercise. Very versatile!

    Versatile Nora: my new favourite pattern!

    This pattern is really simple to sew and so versatile. I’d made two different versions within the first week of downloading! My first was using a mustard sweatshirt fleece backed jersey with the stepped hem
    and higher neck version - I love the long sleeves - so snuggly! My second was a totally different outcome just by opting for the elbow length sleeves, normal neckband and using a lighter weight cotton jersey - it made a fabulous pj top that I added an appliqué to so I had a slouchy top to match my TATB Margot pjs!

    I’m already planning more Noras in my head!

    Kerry thank you so much for your lovely message. Nora is one of my personal faves, so versatile. Have fun making many more. Kate x

    Comfortable top

    I made one with high collar and stepped hems for myself and the long t shirt with long sleeves and small collar for my daughter. We both love wearing them and will be making more

    Thank you Karen for sharing your makes and for your kind words. Yay to making more Noras. Team Buttons x
