Pattern 001 / jersey knit
Everyday T-shirt
One recipe. Your proportions.
Make it tangible
Cut, sew, try on.
The generator checks paired seam lengths and solves the sleeve from the armholes. This is a first test-garment draft, not a sew-tested fit guarantee.
Print at 100% / Actual size, with headers and footers off. Measure the 50 mm calibration square before assembling the tiles. Save as PDF from the print layout.
Fabric, cutting and sewing
- Prewash jersey. Use a knit with comfortable crosswise stretch and good recovery. Test the neckband strip; the ratio depends on its stretch.
- Cut front and back once each on the fold; cut two mirrored sleeves and one band. Body/sleeve grain runs down the garment. Greatest band stretch runs along its length.
- Join shoulders with a stretch stitch. Stabilize shoulders with suitable knit tape if needed.
- Set sleeves flat: crown mark to shoulder, single mark to front, double to back. Transfer seam-line marks in chalk; do not cut deep slits.
- Join sleeve underarms and body side seams. Close the band short ends, fold lengthwise, quarter-mark band and neckline, then attach while distributing stretch evenly.
- Turn hems by the selected allowance and stitch with a stretch-compatible finish. Try on and adjust the saved measurements for the next draft.
Sources and fit limits
Chest and HPS length references: BELLA+CANVAS 3001 and 6004. Remaining preset dimensions and curves are original assumptions, not the manufacturers’ patterns. See drafting notes.
This block splits circumference equally front/back. Shaped / femme adds waist shaping; it does not add bust darts, front length or a full-bust adjustment. No cloth simulation is implied. Body shape, fabric and mobility need a sewn test.
Construction check
Seams that meet.
Measurements below are stitch-line lengths, excluding allowances. Tolerance: 0.5 mm. Neckband is intentionally shorter than the neckline.
