First up, let’s talk about Jessica, who transformed the Bento Tee into a fluffy winter sweatshirt. She used a soft fleece fabric, gave it a wider cut, and added a turtleneck—resulting in something incredibly comfy and stylish for colder days. It’s amazing how a simple pattern can be adapted for such diverse seasons.

Next, Sophie shares her journey with the Bento Tee. Her connection with the pattern began on Instagram, where she immediately fell in love with its potential. For her winter version, she sought out a warm, non-stretchy wool fabric from The Sweet Mercerie. The process was smooth and enjoyable, proving just how beginner-friendly the pattern is.

Sophie couldn’t resist the urge to experiment further, so she crafted a second version—this time going for a playful, reversible quilted jersey. One side is fuchsia, the other grey, making it a fun piece for both casual and bold outfits. Her third creation was a short-sleeve version for spring, utilizing leftover fabric from her previous project. Now, Sophie proudly claims herself as a Bento Tee enthusiast with five unique tees under her belt!

Justine, another maker, shares her experience with the Bento Tee. She’s known for sewing higher-waisted garments and found the Bento pattern to be perfect for achieving a cropped, boxy silhouette. Living near the Los Angeles garment district, she amassed quite the knit stash. The short-sleeve Bento proved to be a fantastic way to use up her surplus fabrics.

Her first version was a long-sleeved wool sweater with a color-blocked design, thanks to the double-sided fabric. She omitted the pockets and extended the collar for a funnel-neck effect. For spring, she created two lighter versions—one in a textured jersey and another matching her linen pants. Each top has its own charm, depending on the fabric's drape.

Lastly, we have Fiona, a busy mom of four who finds joy in sewing. She documented her Bento Tee creations on Instagram, sharing three distinct takes on the pattern. Her first tee was made with a Kaufman rainbow speckled jersey, adding a touch of fun to her wardrobe.

For her second version, Fiona opted for a Stof knit and took inspiration from a tutorial on the Oliver + S blog to add a split hem. She adjusted the neckline slightly and increased the size of the neckband. Her third and favorite creation was a sleeveless, neckband-free design, featuring a navy woven cotton lace and a bright pink lining.
