Morgan is a fitted crew neck tee designed to be a true workhorse in your wardrobe—the piece you reach for on slow mornings, busy afternoons, and everything in between. It's the kind of staple that quietly does it all: layered under a cozy cardigan, tucked into a favorite pair of jeans, or paired with a swishy skirt like Elowen for an easy, everyday outfit that still feels put together.

With a close fit throughout, Morgan is designed to feel as good as it looks—comfortable, flattering, and endlessly wearable. The classic crew neckline is finished with a band for a clean, timeless look, while the short sleeves make it an easy choice year-round.

Designed to hit just below the high hip, Morgan works seamlessly with both high- and mid-rise bottoms. Simple details like single-fold hems give it a neat, understated finish, so you can sew one (or a few) and keep them in regular rotation.

This member-exclusive variation offers a fresh take on your go-to tee. The softly angled V neckline opens things up just a bit, creating a flattering frame that feels relaxed and effortlessly feminine. Finished with a lapped neckband, it adds a subtle, tailored detail that elevates an everyday basic.

Just like the original, this version is designed to be worn on repeat—easy to style, easy to sew, and endlessly versatile. Make it in a lightweight jersey for warm days, or layer it under your favorite pieces when the weather cools. It's a simple way to expand your wardrobe with a second staple that feels both familiar and new.

Fabric recommendations

Morgan is designed for medium-weight knit fabrics with about 50% four-way stretch—fabrics that feel soft against the skin and move with you throughout the day. Cotton jersey is a classic choice for an easy, everyday tee, while bamboo jersey adds a silky drape that feels a bit more elevated.

If you're looking to play with texture, try rib knits for a close, body-hugging fit, or pointelle for a delicate, vintage-inspired feel. For a slightly cozier take, lightweight French terry gives Morgan a more relaxed, lounge-ready vibe.

Because this is a piece you'll likely make more than once, it's a great opportunity to explore how different knits can completely change the look and feel of the garment.

Fitting tips

Because Morgan is fitted, choosing the right size for your measurements is key. If your measurements fall across multiple sizes consider blending between sizes.

Pay special attention to the shoulders—small adjustments like the shoulder slope or width can make a big difference in comfort and fit. If you need extra length, it's easy to add to the body before cutting your fabric.
