The Classic T-shirt sewing pattern is suitable for all levels of sewing | Chummy Tees Reviews

The basic T-shirt can be made with various materials, but mostly stretch jersey material, made of cotton or natural fibers which are breathable and gentle to the surface. It can also be made of special materials when used for sports activities like running or tennis.


T-shirts are easy fitting, as there are no fiddly darts or complicated tribunals, so it makes a great project if you are just beginning to hone your sewing machine skills. Chummy Tees Reviews have such huge collections of designer t-shirts for both men and women.


The neckline is finished off with a jersey band, and the T-shirt can be sewn either on a regular sewing machine with a twisted stitch or on an overlocked.


Fabric Suggestions

Tighten knit fabric such as interlock and jersey, with 25% stretch; this project is not suitable for very stretchy turtlenecks.


Seam Allowances

You can sew this T-shirt either on a regular sewing machine using a diagonal stitch or with an overlocked. The closure allowance is 1cm for either method. If you use a regular machine, you don’t need to grieve about finishing off the raw edges as the interlock doesn’t fray. 



Cutting

It’s important to get the fabric laid out so that the direction of the fabric’s stretch runs around the width of the pattern pieces, not up and down the length. If your fabric has a directional print or surface pattern, lay the front and back pattern pieces out following the same orientation. Both the front and back of the T-shirt need to be cut on a folded edge of the fabric.


Top Tips

The neckband is honest while the neckline is curved. To stretch the neckband precisely onto the neck, match up compromising and quarter-way marks.

The armhole and sleeve curve in conflicting directions, so you may need to ease them together as you pin. Horizontal pinning is perfect for this.


Instructions for Sewing Up the T-shirt


1.Trace off the pattern pieces – front, back, sleeve and neckband. Cut out and transfer any pattern markings to the fabric. Mark the center front and center back with grooves, too. 




2. The manufacturer’s instructions, apply a strip of iron-on stabilizing line to both of the back shoulder seams, within the seam allowance. This will stop the protrusions from stretching out of shape when the T-shirt is worn.


3. The leading piece superior to the back. Pin and then stitch the left shoulder with a 1cm seam allowance. Mangle the seam towards the back.
