Fabric and materials recommendations

For specific fabrics, you can shop EWE Fine Fiber’s curated fabrics for the Bedrock Tee pattern.

Meg’s bedrock tees are sewn in a knit jersey slub from ISeeFabrics. Meredith’s short-sleeved tees are made with Hudson Tencel jersey from EWE Fine Fibers, and the long-sleeved one is in cotton jersey. Sudi-Laura’s are in a cotton knit.

The Bedrock Tee is intended for fabric with 40% stretch and quick recovery. For a flowy fit, choose a knit fabric with rayon or bamboo content in addition to spandex. For a more structured fit, look for a mid-weight knit fabric with at least 40% stretch and good recovery such as cotton jersey.
