The Mae Top is the perfect bikini top with it’s classic style.  You can also use it to make a bralette by simple changing from swim fabric and elastic to cotton spandex and clear elastics.  If your measurements hit different sizes there are Small Bust Adjustment and Full Bust Adjustment pieces so you can spend more time sewing and less making fit adjustments. The triangle shape is a timeless look and the gathered center provides more coverage for the larger cup sizes while keeping the classic shape.  You can choose from using a traditional 3/8″ elastic along the underbust or for the adult you can choose the 3/4″ underbust elastic that adds more support for heavier cup sizes.  You can go for the simple gathered center or add on a center knot or center loop for a cute detail. This top is fully lined, so if you prefer to add an innerlining of powermesh or swim cups it is very easy to to.


Pattern options for the Mae Top include:

  • Center: Plain Gathered / Center Knot /Center Loop
  • Lining: Fully Lined
  • Fit Options: Regular Pieces / (Adult Only) Small Bust Adjustment Pieces / (Adult Only) Full Bust Adjustment Pieces
  • Underbust Elastic: 3/8″ Elastic / (Adult Only) 3/4″ Elastic

The Mae Top is drafted for high stretch swim knit fabrics.

Specific Fabric Suggestions: Swimsuit knits, Cotton Spandex for a bralette.


The Mae Bottom is the perfect bikini bottom to pair with any top.  You can also use it to make undies with the comfy waistband too!

Choose from the many options to create the perfect suit or multiple variations for you and your little one…or whoever is lucky enough to get one sewn for them!


Pattern options for the Mae Bottom include:

  • Rises: Low Rise / Mid Rise / High Rise / Mid Rise V Waist / High Rise V Waist

  • *Want to learn more about how to measure yourself for these pattern?  We’ve got you covered with an in-depth blog HERE.  And for even more helpful fun, we have a free* printable that you can use to help record your measurements as you take them.

What Makes the Raider Ringer Tees Special?

The Raider Ringer Tees are inspired by the timeless charm of the Ringer tees that were all the rage in the 60s/70s, but with a unique twist—a vertical stripe detail that runs from the neckline to the hemline on the sleeves. This eye-catching feature adds a dynamic touch to an already iconic style, making these tees a standout piece in any wardrobe.

These patterns are available in all of our size charts, ensuring a perfect fit for everyone. Here’s a quick rundown of what each version offers:

  • Adult Hourglass: This version is designed with a figure-hugging fit that accentuates your curves. It comes with options for crop, top, shirt, and dress hem lengths, and an additional scoop neckline option, all in sizes XXS to Plus 5X.
  • Youth Hourglass: Perfect for the little ones, this version offers a similar body skimming fit as the adult version, with sizes ranging from 3M to 14. Choose from crop, top, shirt, and dress hem lengths to suit your child’s style.
  • Adult V Figure: If you prefer a more relaxed fit, the V Figure version is for you. It includes three height options—Short (5’6″), Average (5’10”), and Tall (6’2″)—and comes with classic Ringer tee details like short sleeve, long sleeve cuffed, and long sleeve hem options. Available in sizes XXS to Plus 6X.
  • Youth V Figure: Designed for kids who love to play and move freely, this version provides a comfortable fit with sizes ranging from 3M to 14. It’s perfect for everyday wear and offers the same sleeve options as the adult version.

The Story Behind the Name

You might be wondering, why the name Raider Ringer? Well, I (Katy…P4P designer + admin) love to draw inspiration from my home state of West Virginia when naming my patterns. This time around, I decided to honor the mascot of my husband and son’s school. Plus, how could I resist the connection between Raiders and Pirates? It was a match made in pattern-naming heaven!


Pattern Features

And now the best part! Let’s show off all of the different features + options!

SLEEVES: STRIPED or BASIC SHORT / LONG CUFFED / LONG HEMMED

HEM LENGTHS (HOURGLASS VERSIONS): CROP / TOP / SHIRT / DRESS


Grab the Bundle and Save!

For those who want it all, we’re offering a Raider Ringer Tee Bundle, which includes all four patterns at a discounted price. This is your chance to create matching tees for the entire family, each with its own unique flair.

The Lizzy Dress is a beautiful sundress designed without tricky zippers or time-consuming buttons, yet it still offers a sleek silhouette. It’s perfect for those woven, non-stretch fabrics you’ve fallen in love with but couldn’t find the right dress for—until now! Named after the beloved Lizzy/Elizabeth Bennet, this dress features an empire waist with elastic just under the bust and another a bit lower on the ribs. The gathered tiered skirt gives this dress swish, sway, and twirl, with a unique gathered back detail before the last tier to set it apart from your everyday dress.

Woven dresses can be tricky to fit, but the Lizzy Dress makes it simple with elastic and ties that adjust to your liking. This design offers an easy fit for fluctuating sizes and is perfect for maternity wear too!

Pattern options include:

  • Straps: Thin Straps / Sleeves
  • Lengths: Just Above Knee / Maxi, Ankle

This pattern is drafted for non-stretch woven apparel fabrics.

Specific Fabric Suggestions: Rayon, rayon challis, voile, seersucker, georgette, poly blends, linen blends, and cotton blends. While we typically don’t recommend quilting cotton for apparel, it can be used for this dress. Just keep in mind that fabric requirements are for wider apparel fabrics.



We obviously wouldn’t leave you hanging without showing you some of the different options in the patterns!

THIN STRAPS / SLEEVES

KNEE SKIRT / MAXI SKIRT

Are you choosing to sew the thin strap version of the Lizzy Dress and hoping for a little extra help with the steps? We’ve got you!

We are so excited to see what you make with the new Lizzy Dress patterns! Both patterns are available now and on sale (no code needed) through 11:59pm CST, August 7, 2024.
