  DIY BASIC UNISEX T-SHIRT  PATTERN- even big sizes.

  

Hi, have a happy day!!!!

I try to explain in English.

As you see it’s not my own language. I hope to do it fine.

 

We use ruler, colour markers, pencil, scissors, measure tape, paper….

THIS BASIC T-SHIRT PATTERN IS VERY USEFUL BECAUSE WITH IT WE`LL DO SEVERAL OTHERS PATTERNS.

We use strecht fabric (with spandex).

WE DON’T USE EASE SEWING/SEAM.

We use the paper fold in two.

NOTE: if you want your t-shirt to be ease then add 3cm to the pattern.

NOTE: 

THE LEFT VERTICAL LINE (DOTS LINE) INDICATES THE LINE WHERE WE FOLD THE FABRIC SO WE PUT THIS PATTERN LINE (DOTS LINE) OVER THE FABRIC FOLD.

MEASUREMENTS NEEDED

NECK CIRCUMFERENCE: we measure around the neck.

BUST CIRCUMFERENCE: we measure around the bust.

BACK WIDE: we measure in the back, point-shoulder in the left to point-shoulder in the right side.

WAIST LINE: we measure from the neck to the waist and draw a horizontal line.

WAIST CIRCUMFERENCE: we measure around the waist

HIP CIRCUMFERENCE: we measure around the hip.

HIP LINE: we measure from the neck to the hip and draw a horizontal line.

SHOULDER: we measure from the neck to the point-shoulder (where it joins with the arm).

LENGTH SLEEVE: we measure from the point-shoulder to the elbow or wrist, as we like.

WIDE SLEEVE: we measure the upper-arm circumference and the elbow or wrist circumference, where ends the sleeve.

WE USE ITALIAN MEASUREMNT in cms.

BASIC T-SHIRT PATTERN

FRONT PART

 

We draw a rectangle with ¼ hip circumference in horizontal lines and the t-shirt length we like…

In the upper horizontal line we mark 1/6 neck circumference plus 1,5cm (blue mark)….

In the left vertical line we mark 1/6 neck circumference plus 3cm (blue mark)….

We join with a soft curve…..

  

SHOULDER

In the upper horizontal line we mark the shoulder length (red line)….

We mark down 1/6 divide in half, and join with the neck mark with a diagonal line (brown line)….we get the shoulder….

  

DART

We draw a vertical line (green line) that has ¼ bust circumference for woman; or half back wide for man…

Here we draw the bust line….(horizontal green line)

In this vertical green line we look for half and enter 2 cms ….

In bust/chest line and the vertical line we draw up 3 cms…..

We join in soft curve all the marks……we get the dart….

SIDE SEAM

We join the bust/chest line with the hem line (red vertical line)….

To make the t-shirt tight:

We measure from neck to waist and draw the waist line(green color), in this line we mark ¼ waist circumference ….

We measure from neck to hip and draw the hip line(blue grey color), in this line we mark ¼ hip circumference….

The hem line is the hip line(blue grey color), we mark the hip circumference plus 3 cms for the hem…..

Then, we join bust/chest line (red color) mark, waist line mark (green color), hip line mark and hem line mark (blue grey color)... we get the side seam….

BACK PATTERN

We draw the same all steps, except in the NECK we mark 1/6 neck circumference + 2cm in the vertical line.

In the DART we don’t enter the 2 cms.

  

SLEEVES PATTERNS

We fold vertically the paper in 2 (half) so we do the sleeve complete at once.

In the vertical we put the sleeve length….

In the upper horizontal line we mark ¼ bust circumference (woman) or ½ back wide measurement (man)…..

SLEEVE CAP  DEPTH

We measure 1/10 bust circumference and draw a line (horizontal blue line)

 DIAGONAL GREEN LINE: we measure the front dart PLUS the back dart with the tape “stand up” we DIVIDE in half…..

We use this measurement to join the left angle with the horizontal blue line with the ruler ….. we get the diagonal green line.

  

SLEEVE CAP

We divide this diagonal line in half….

Each half we divide in half too…..

We get 3 marks (brown)….

 In the 1^st. (left) mark we draw up 1 cm…..

In the 3^rd (right) mark we draw down 1 cm…..

BACK CAP SLEEVE

We join the horizontal blue line with the sleeve hem mark in the down horizontal line with a vertical line (sorry, I didn’t draw it)

We get the sleeve side seam…..

HOW TO CUT THE SLEEVE PATTERN

We cut off (in the fold paper) the back cap sleeve (yellow curve)….

We unfold the paper and cut the front cap sleeve (red curve)….

We follow cutting the sleeve side seam….

We get the sleeve pattern…..
