If I had to choose a favorite neckline it would have to be the boatneck. It’s just so feminine and classic, and looks good on almost anyone.
I’ve sewn a boatneck for myself, for Clara, for the dolls, and this weekend I sewed two for Lucy!
Specifically, I tried out the new pdf pattern by Wee Muses (from Aesthetic Nest) called: The Bateau Neck Top! And today I’m joining her pattern tour and sharing my creations.
Okay. I LOVE this pattern. Anneliese did such a wonderful job with it. It’s easy to follow, easy to sew, easy to add your own twists. It’s simplicity is what makes it brilliant. It’s just—-lovely and cute.
And it works for many seasons.
Whether you’re headed back to school or still hanging on to summer, there’s a bateau waiting for you to sew.
Seriously.
This is one of those “under-an-hour” projects. You gotta try it.
And if you’ve never sewn with knits, this is a great place to start. (Read more about Sewing with Knits HERE.)
First I made a basic top. It’s hard to tell in the photos but the fabric is a soft interlock knit (from Joanns) sprinkled with silver specks. My instinct was to leave it plain, since sparkles are an accessory in themselves.
But it really needed a little something more—maybe a bite of polka dots? Lucy approved. How many treasures will fit in 2 x 2 inches?
This basic top came together very quickly, since the neckline is simply ironed under and sewn! Even faster than the casing I used on Clara’s. And the sleeveless version beats them all. Super quick.
The tank top was Lucy’s idea. We tried on the green shirt before the sleeves were sewn-on and she asked, ooooh, is this a tank top?? That’s really cute.
You’re right, we should make it a tank.
And…we should probably add a bow. A big oversized shoulder bow.
“Mom! I look just like Lexi!”
Yes, yes. I can’t get away from the bow!
And don’t worry, I haven’t forgotten about making doll patterns. I’ve just put it on the back burner since so many of you showed interest in the First Day Dress….which is currently in the works.
The sleeveless version is not part of the Bateau Neck pattern instructions but it’s pretty self-explanatory….you just iron the armholes under and sew them in place like you do at the neckline. My recommendation is to iron and sew them in place before sewing the side seams. This makes it easier all around.
Then add a big floppy accessory and you’re set.
If you’ve never made a bow I’ve got a simple tutorial HERE.
For this version I used knit fabric. And the key to the shoulder bow is placement on the shirt. Don’t sew it right ON to the shoulder, but handsew it slightly below the shoulder, so it drapes more over the front of the shirt than the back.
And just like that we’ve got more school clothes. Yay! I love finding patterns and clothes that are a bit more grown-up but still appropriate and playful for kids—-so that they still look like kids.

Love the shirts you made for Lucy! Very very cute!
So cute! I just know if I started making clothes for one doll, I’d end up outfitting every bunny, bear, and cabbage patch kid in the house. I’ll stick to sewing for the real little one I think!
How cute! I love to try this for my daughter!
I would love to try out this pattern!
Love it!Want it!
This top is adorable! I love the little bow too. What a sweet way to add a cute accessory.
I have always stayed away from knits. But this looks so easy I have to try it.
That bow is the cutest!!
I just love bateau necks and I’d like to sew one for my little girl. Thanks!
That looks like a lovely place to start with knits

I absolutely love everything about this. And, I too, “love finding patterns and clothes that are a bit more grown-up but still appropriate and playful for kids—-so that they still look like kids.”
Ohhh! ME! I’d love to sew up a million of these for my girl.
Love it, I want to try!

Oh, I would love to try this one out! I tried knits a while back and it didn’t go so well, but this looks like a great pattern to restart with them. My two year old would look adorable in a boat neck! Lucky little ones don’t have to worry about bra straps 🙂
Love it! The bow is the perfect addition!
Love the pattern, and your fabric choice, so bright and colorful. It is just you. And the floppy bow makes me smile. I definitely want to try this pattern!!
I love this pattern! It’s so cute!
I love that pattern. I want to make at least two for my daughters.
Very cute. I love boat necks, too. Maybe you’re right…. This would be a great way to join the world of knit fabrics. (Oh, and I’m so happy that the 1stday dress pattern is in the works. I’ll be your first customer!)
Oh, I have two girls who would love these shirts…and can you imagine adding a twirly skirt to make it a dress? Oh, yes.
How lovely! I love to try this for my girl!
Saw this pattern in a shop recently and have really been wanting it! Intrigued by the neckline facing. 🙂
Love the shirts. Thanks
This is so cute! That style of neckline is my favorite. So fun!
This would look so good on my girls! They would LOVE the tops I could make for them.
Ooh, I’ve been dying to get this pattern. So cute!
Love this pattern and your ideas!
So excited to hopefully win this pattern! Love the simple design of a boat neck top!
I LOVE the boatneck!!! It’s so hard to find something that is feminine and still modest.
Oh my, such a cute pattern!
Love to try this one! I’m just learning to sew and it looks ideal.
Love the big bow on the shoulder paired with the boat neck style. Classic but fun. I have to try this!
Gracias por el sorteo,un placer participar y con muchisimas ganas de ser la ganadora y poder poner en practica el patron.

Ooooh! I would love this.
So cute! I’d love this!

So simple. but still so cute! Love your fabric choices.
I would totally love that pattern. Something that I would use all the time!
That’s a lovely tee, the boat neck does look pretty good. I’d love to try that one on the girls. And the bow, I might use that sometime, what a great idea!

So cute! My daughter would love a few of these, especially now that she doesn’t wear a uniform to school.
Love this pattern thank you!!!!
What adorable shirts. I never know what to do with all the cute knits I see – looks like this would be a great option for my daughter!
I would love this pattern, it’s so awesome. It would be a good start to sewing with knits.
I’ve never tried any of the Wee Muses patterns, I would love to! This is so cute!
Cute! This seems like a good way to dip my toe into sewing with knits.
I love boatnecks! I love Knit fabric! I would love to win this pattern :)! Thanks for the chance!!
Super cute! My daughter is starting to outgrow the toddler section of the store, and I HATE most of what I am seeing for little girls. These sweet tops are just lovely, and still appropriate and practical for my girly girl.
Great shirts! I hope I win this pattern!
Very cute! I’d love a copy.

I have been watching the “tour” of the pattern, and the sleeveless bow version is my Favorite! I also agree with the boatneck – it is my favorite style for me and my daughter! Keep up the great work! I have sewn one top, about a month ago with knits – I am just a beginner anyways, but loved it! I would love to have this pattern to practice more! 🙂
So cute! I love bateau neck tops, too – so simple, yet seem a bit fancier than a plan crew-neck tee-shirt.
Very cute style!
I would love a pattern so versatile for my four girls 😀
Oh, the boatneck is my FAVORITE neckline! FOR SURE! I would love to win this pattern, and sew some shirts for my girls.
I would love to win this pattern and I totally want an over the shoulder bow shirt. Sooo cute. I saw this pattern recently in my email and if I don’t win I will definitely be purchasing it 🙂
Love it!
it´s a lovely pattern, it seems easy to do
LOVE IT! 🙂 I’m going to see if the pattern is for adults too! 🙂
I love the tank top version. We are always looking for undershirts to wear under “see through” shirts, to keep it a little more modest. This would be a great pattern! Thanks!
Oh, I will be very happy to tray this for my daughters!! Beautiful!!
Beautiful! Both the girls and the pattern. 😀 Bateau necks are also my favourite!
Yes, please! Thanks! 🙂
Sounds like a great pattern. Thanks!

I would love to surprise my girl with this top. Thanks for the giveaway.
As I was buying fabric for the kiddo’s Halloween costume I picked up some knit…since I heard its so easy to sew with. But I didn’t have a project in mind. I think I do now…
me encantan, son hermosas, las quiero!!!!!!!!!!!
Super cute! Any time I make something for my daughter, she asks for matching clothes for her doll! I’m just happy that she’ll wear what I make!
Love these tops! so many things you can do with that pattern!
I would love to try this pattern. I need to work on my knit fabric stash!!!!!

I just love love love the bow on the shoulder. so sweet and simple. perfect.
How cute! I love to try this for my little girl. Thanks!
Those tops are adorable! Love the bow!
I have left sewing for the past few years and mainly crocheted and knitted, but as a grandma of 4 and #5 at the end of this month, I need to get back into sewing and this pattern would be GREAT for both the girls and the boys!! Your tutorials are wonderful and step by step. I needed this “budge” to get back into sewing, knowing it doesn’t have to be hard or complicated!! Thank you.
Reason #6651 why I love you: the bateau is my fave neckline, too!! Always so flattering, and shows off the collarbone–both tasteful and classy. Am so getting this pattern–can’t believe how hard it is to find decent clothing for a second-grader. It’s shameful, really, how few things in stores are acceptable, and how few patterns are in their size that don’t look to young but aren’t too old. This will totally fill a gap!
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!
What an awesome basic pattern to have!
I love bateau necklines! They really are beautiful! Can’t wait to make outfits with them for my little girl.
Thanks for the chance!!! The one with the bow is soooo cute. I have to try it!!!!
me please!!
have been trying to figure this out for some time. meaning, i dream about making it once the kids go to bed…and i’m watching tv.
but if i have this…i’ll have inspiration!
Those are so adorable! Thanks for the giveaway.
Ohhh please let me win this one! 🙂
What a cute pattern!

This pattern is great! Your examples are beautiful as always! Thanks so much for sharing and giving some lucky folks a chance to win the pattern.
I love those shirts! So cute! Hope I win!
oh yes ! I would LOVE to have this pattern ! That’s my favorite neckline too, I could make some t-shirts to fit with my little boy’s shorts 🙂
so cute! I’d make my little girl some too 🙂
Would like these tops for myself! Love
Sewing for three sisters! Time to update pictures. These would lend a classic silhouette.

I want to make that EXACT green shirt for myself!
Oh yes, boatnecks are definitely my favorite neckline. (Followed shortly by v-neck.) That Lucy sure is a doll! I just wish I had the time to sew as many cute clothes for my kids as you do. They’re so much more special than the store bought stuff…must get on that.

Oh…pick me, pick me! Super cute shirts!
I just bought a bunch of “practice” knit fabric for cheap and would love a good basic introduction pattern to use with it!
What a great pattern – my Granddaughters will love it!
Ooohh yes please. I could make sooooooooo many creations for my girls and myself. I keep saying it, but fingers crossed – it is bound to work, right 🙂
What a great pattern! :o)
Oh, so cute! I love the contrasting fabric for the pocket! Would love to try this pattern for my little girl!
The pattern is sooooo cute I could die!
Looks like a great basic! I have set a goal for myself to learn how to use my serger this month. Looks like the perfect place to start.

Such a cute shirt! I’d love to give the patten a try.
Very nice! The pattern is really very versatile.
Oh, I need some quick patterns to get me back on the project train – this would be perfect!
Beautiful. Would love to try this. Your site is an inspiration!
I love the bow!
Cute pattern. I love quick and easy!
well, i’m a sucker for stripes and polka dots! would love to try my hand at this pattern 🙂
I would love to make some of these for my little girl! Totally doing a floppy bow like yours….. love that!!
I need to get over my fear of knits and of course get started on a fall wardrobe for little miss. This would be perfect!
Wow! What a great pattern! Too bad it doesn’t come in my size.
Love this! My daughter is very particular about tshirts that look too much like “boy shirts”, and wants something feminine. This definitely looks feminine while still being basic and not going over-the-top with frills and ruffles, which just aren’t her thing at all! Just lovely. And I always admire your fabric and color choices so much!!
Love the tank with the bow! Perfect! Would love to give this pattern a go!!
I am trying to get over my fear of knits and just go it. This pattern might be the ticket I need! The tops you made are awesome….really makes me want to take the knit plunge!
Just randomly bought two lots of striped knit with no idea what to do with it…this must be a sign!… nautical boat necks ahoy!!
Love that gappy smile 🙂 My daughter uses hers as a straw holder!
I would love to sew this for my granddaughter.
I love boatnecks too! I will have to try it out!
Love the simplicity an versatility!!! Need this one!
I’d love to win a pattern!

Thanks for this giveaway! Love this pattern.
Hi,
I´m from Germany and I love, love. love your blog and this very nice shirt. I hope to be in luck! 😉
I can’t wait to try this one out! It’s such a beautiful grown up shirt!
I want it:) It will be for my little girl:) Hello from Poland
Love this pattern. I would love to try it for my two girls. Maybe in some fall knits! Maybe extending it to a tunic. Thanks for sharing.
Can’t wait to make some shirts for my niece…and maybe her doll too!
This is fantastic! Would like to give it a try
I intend to try to sew knit (never tried until now), so this would be great !! Thanks for the chance to win.
in love with the ginormous bow!
super cute! i would love to make a bunch of these!
I’m making this one, maybe several!!
What a cute pattern!
As a stitch a-holic, I have to say this is now one of my favorite websites. My Mother-in-Law found it and I’m so excited about this pattern. I have a 7 yr old who just started second grade.. and on the first day of school we had a major meltdown when a bunch of her clothes no were no longer appropriate for school. I can’t wait to try this with a some old t-shirts and sweat shirts to turn them into new clothes for her. 🙂
I love your easy way of sewing. I can do a little bit of sewing, but have not done any in a long time. Using the dining room table, you always have to be moving the sewing machine and fabric for each meal, and that becomes a nuisance.
Love it!! Pick me! Pick me! I adore that bow!!
I just love that bow. I want that top in my size. Thanks Dana!!! You are amazing!
lovely, like always¡¡¡¡ Congratulations¡¡
I could make so much with this pattern!
This is just what I need to sew for my kids more! Thanks for the give-away and the great website!
I love it! The colors and stripes really make it! Love the treasure pocket:)
The neckline looks great for kids with larger heads, like one of mine;)
Thanks!
My 2.5 yr old son told me he likes me to wear “polka-pots” so i would love to make one for me and my 3-month old! thanks.
I love that sparkly fabric! And I love that boat neck!
I LOVE boat neck collars – I would love to be able to make some shirts for my daughters with that adorable pattern!
Looks like a fun pattern to attempt sewing with knits. Thanks for the opportunity. 🙂
Super cute pattern!! can’t wait to sew some shirts!!
This top is adorable!
This shirt looks so sweet and simple. It looks so easy to make!
Beautiful! I need to start sewing some clothing for my daughter!!
Boat neck is my go-to neckline. I would love to have a good pattern for them. Just dying to create a floppy bow tank! Nina Garcia would never question your taste level, Dana.
i want that shirt with the bow for myself. I’m already thinking about how to make it happen and if it would be practical with a sweater or if I would have to wait until next summer to wear it…
thanks for the giveaway!
Love this pattern. I would love to be able to sew some of these tops for my 2.5 year old.
Hope I am still in time from overseas to enter, c’est trop jolie!!
Love this pattern! I really like the neckline since it seems so easy to pull over the head. it is very cute and looks versatile.
Love the sparkles! My girls would adore it.
I’ve so far only made a few simple skirts, but this looks like something I can handle. Love the bow with the tank top!
