How to sew a women's T-shirt: patterns and master classes

Currently, the selection of T-shirts is very wide and varied, but each person wants to create something original and special. Sewing a T-shirt with your own hands is cheap and very easy. This lesson will help you to have a good time, since the pattern of this product is easy to build, does not require a large amount of fabric, and the whole process will not take more than two hours.

To correctly build a pattern for any T-shirt, you need to make a drawing of the base on paper. It can be noted that this drawing is simple, since there is no need to draw a dart of the chest and waist, which will greatly simplify the task.

First you need to take measurements in a strict sequence: the girth of the neck, chest, waist, back width. They are halved as the drawing is drawn at half size.

Next, we build a right angle. From this corner downwards we mark the length of the product, to the right we set aside 1⁄2 of the chest circumference. We draw down the height of the chest, drawing a straight line. This will count as the depth of the armhole.

On the resulting line, measure 1⁄2 the width of the back and mark with a dot. Now we calculate the armhole. Divide the chest girth by 2 and add 3-4 cm. Draw perpendiculars from the points obtained.The back, armhole and front of the product are now marked on the drawing.

Divide the armhole area in half and draw a line down. It will indicate the side cut of the front and back product. Additionally, having taken the measurement of the back waist length, put this measurement down, draw a horizontal line - this will be the waist line. Lay down 18-20 cm from the waist down, mark the line of the hips.

Now you need to draw a line for the neck. We calculate the measurement, divide the neck girth by 3 and add 0.5 cm. We put this measurement at the top of the right angle, called the width of the neck of the back. We put a point, from this point we draw a line 2.5 cm high and draw a line for the neck. From the two drawn perpendiculars at the highest points, lay down 2.5 cm and put a notch.

Now you need to build the armhole.

From the top point of the neck through point 2.5, set aside the measurement shoulder width + 1.5 cm, draw a line. In the drawing, from the right angle of the front to the top, set aside 2.5 cm, draw a horizontal line, transfer the width of the neck of the back to this line. To calculate the depth of the neck of the front, you need to add 1 cm to the width of the neck of the back. From the top point of the neck of the front, draw the shoulder width + 1.5 cm. We connect the extreme points with a curved line of the armhole.

Next, we build the sleeve.

We draw a right angle, put down the length of the sleeve, to the right we draw the width of the sleeve, it is calculated by the formula: we divide the chest circumference by 3 and add 6 cm, put a point. Lay down 3⁄4 of the depth of the armhole - this is the height of the cuff. In the drawing, the width of the sleeve is divided in half, indicated by a mark. From this point to the right and to the left we draw lines to the depth of the sleeve, draw the line of the okat. The resulting drawing will be the sleeve of the T-shirt.

This is, first of all, the development of clothing models, in which it is important to take into account both the taste characteristics of a person and the characteristics of a person's figure. In other words, this is a certain basis for the manufacture of a product. Modeling consists of four stages: analysis of the idea, selection of the basis for the product, making changes for the resulting basis and sewing the garment.

For a complete understanding, you need to disassemble some of the T-shirt models.

Cut the resulting T-shirt pattern into details of the front and back. We put these details on tracing paper. To get a deflated shoulder, you need to increase the length of the shoulder seam. We put a mark and connect with a smooth line with the armhole, we get a deflated sleeve line.

A special feature is the cutting out of the sleeves along with the front and back. These sleeves are varied in shape, size, armhole depth. From the top of the shoulder of the back and front, draw a line indicating the length. Draw a parallel line at the depth of the armhole. Draw a perpendicular from the final point of the sleeve length. We smoothly connect the points with the waist line.

On the front pattern, mark the depth of the polo fastener (about 15 cm). Separately, we cut out the plank, ready-made 3.5 cm and 16 cm long. Shorten the sleeve to the desired length, reduce the base of the front and back by 2.5 cm along the side seam for a snug fit. Additionally, we build a collar.

A master class on sewing a product and building a pattern is in the next video.

We put the front half of the sleeve and the T-shirt on top of each other, aligning the shoulder cuts with the upper point of the sleeve itself, which is at an angle that has a slight slope. It is worth taking into account that the greater this slope, the more convex the sleeve will be.

Divide the neck of the back in half, set point A. From point A, draw a tangent to the armhole. The intersection of the tangent with the armhole - point B. AB divide in half, draw up a perpendicular 1 cm, connect with a smooth line.

Set aside 4.5 cm along the neck of the front, mark with point A1. We connect it with a tangent to the armhole, we get point B1.We divide A1B1 in half, set the perpendicular 1 cm upwards, connect it with a smooth curving line. Then, we cut all the details on paper, the remaining back and glue the armhole to the sleeve.

Below is an example of a layered sleeve.

The pattern for a fat T-shirt does not differ much from the pattern for a regular T-shirt. To do this, cut the front and back from the bottom to the shoulder seam and push it a couple of centimeters, depending on the completeness of the figure. Then, along the armhole and side seam, add 1.5-2 cm each to expand the product.

We suggest watching a master class on sewing a large T-shirt in the next video.

Along the front, we set aside the desired length of the hood, on the pattern it is calculated through the crown of the head to measure the distance from the middle of the back to the middle of the front. The hole for the face depends on the model selected.

The shape can be a circle or an oval, it depends on your own preferences. This style has 2 side and shoulder seams. Such a T-shirt is not only comfortable, but also original.

This cutout option is the simplest. It is suitable if there is not enough time for more complex processing.

To do this, take the front pattern, mark the depth of the V-shaped cut on it (about 10 cm). This cut should be perfectly level without any deviation. You can mark with a ruler or draw a smooth line with soap. We connect with a straight line to the point of the neck of the front, we get the original neckline of the T-shirt.

Nowadays, every woman's wardrobe cannot be imagined without T-shirts. This thing is endowed with such properties as practicality, convenience, maximum comfort and versatility. It is suitable not only for sports, but also fits perfectly into your everyday look.

Let's look at a few examples of fabrics that can be used to make a practical T-shirt.

This fabric is made from natural cotton. Thick and thin threads, intertwining, create a special texture inherent in this fabric. It is colored only with the help of environmentally friendly dyes, thanks to which it has a very high resistance.

This material has a lot of advantages. Poplin does not fade, has a high level of strength, pleasant texture, retains heat, does not wrinkle, is hypoallergenic, has an affordable price.

This material is knitted from natural or synthetic threads on a machine. The hinges that make up it can change position and stretch, thanks to a certain location. The starting materials are yarns and threads.

One of the advantages is the structure of the fabric, which does not wrinkle. The knitwear is airtight, which is why it warms up in cold weather and warms up on hot days. It stretches perfectly, thereby adapting to any shape and is easy to clean, since it does not even require ironing.

This fabric is one of the natural ones. A cotton T-shirt is perfect in summer, as this fabric quickly absorbs moisture and maintains a comfortable temperature for a long time.

It is breathable, cotton fabrics literally "breathe" on the body of any person. Such fabrics do not deform during washing, they are strong and stable enough, which is why things cannot stretch or shrink. Even with frequent washing, they do not lose some of these characteristics.

Nowadays, T-shirts made of lace are becoming more and more popular. In combination with the correct bottom, these T-shirts endow the owner with sophistication and sophistication, bring notes of romance, dreaminess and tenderness to her image.

This fabric has an elegant openwork pattern that attracts attention. It is versatile, breathable and has an interesting texture. A T-shirt made of lace will not only be beautiful, but also elegant. It is she who will add a touch of festivity to the image.

This material is made from cotton, which gives the fabric many excellent properties. It is strong enough, but at the same time very light and airy.

It does not stretch, does not shrink after washing, keeps its shape remarkably. A waistcoat T-shirt is perfect in summer, as it absorbs moisture from the skin, but at the same time has good breathability.

Interlock consists of 100% cotton, is a two-sided fabric, therefore it has a second name - two-layer. It is very wear-resistant and durable, able to take its original shape even after washing and stretching.

Interlock keeps warm in cold weather, protects against hypothermia. Easy to iron and retains color for a long time. This is one of natural and hypoallergenic materials, and most importantly, it is quite easy to care for.

In order for everything to work out perfectly smoothly, you need to make a pattern on the fabric on a perfectly flat surface. In addition, you will need scissors, tools to help in marking, a ruler and crayon.

The available fabric must be used rationally, closely expanding the existing parts. First you need to lay out all the large patterns and patterns that have a fold. The back and collar should be positioned so that they are centered on the fold of the fabric as they do not need to be cut. Next, smaller parts are located, and so on until the smallest. You need to start cutting out only when the entire pattern is completely marked with soap or chalk on the fabric.

Details that have a fold and a second pair are placed face to face on the back. This is very convenient, because it is on this side that you can make various kinds of marks: pockets, locations of buttons, folds. Thus, these chalk markings will not be visible on the face of the product.

The front side serves for the location of parts that do not have a pair, which must be joined due to the existing pattern or pattern. When cutting them out, it is necessary to determine the correct location of the part.

There are several types of layouts:

1. Longitudinal Fold (Folds in half, right side in).
2. Transverse (Folds inward along the transverse line with the front sides inward).
3. Two folds (Fabric is positioned over the warp threads).
4. Reversal (This layout is not economical because there are many lunges. It is used when laying out parts that have an asymmetric shape).
5. Partial fold (Unfolding of the fabric is carried out to the width, respectively, along the warp thread, since parts with folds need a lot of space. The rest of the parts are located on the fabric, placed in one layer).
6. Rotation (It is used in the case of a small footage of fabric, it is cut and rotated 180 degrees).
7. Along the oblique (It is used if the parts need to be made more mobile, unfolds, respectively, obliquely).

Self-created T-shirt will make the image original, different from others. It is quite easy to sew such a necessary wardrobe item, and most importantly, it does not require large expenses. To achieve greater uniqueness, the resulting product can be decorated with various stripes, beads or ribbons at your own discretion.

If you have an unwanted T-shirt in your closet, you can create a new product based on it. To do this, you need to rip up the old product, iron out the seams and transfer everything to paper. The main task is to check the joining of both the shoulder and side seams so that everything has an even look. The armhole is not needed, because the shoulders of this model of the product are lowered.

First you need to process the shoulder seams by folding the front half and back, chipping with needles. To sew such a T-shirt, you need an overlock, so the seams on the product can only be swept over. After the seams are removed, the product will look exactly like this.

• To do this, it is necessary to divide the front and back into 2 equal parts, marking the points with soap or a slate pencil. These marks must be placed strictly in the middle and on the sides.
• Next, you need to fold the back and shelf in half and put more additional points.
• On the side of the back, there should be laid allowances, which were obtained by ironing the shoulder seams.
• It is necessary that the strip is smaller than the neck circumference. In this case, the edging will not turn out.

• Sew the edges of the strip.
• Now it needs to be chopped off and ironed, then on the circle of the resulting edging we put points dividing it into four parts.
• We connect the points of the front, back and edging, so that the seam of the inlay is located at the back.
• After the seams are overcast, the neckline is finished.

This step is very simple - you just need to sew on the armhole strip.

• Iron the bias tape on the ironing table.
• We connect the side seams and do the hem.

We sweep the side seams, joining the edges.

• There will be a medium sized elastic band at the bottom of the T-shirt, the length should be measured depending on the proportions.
• Sew the hem of the elastic to the hem of the shirt.
• Overcast the remaining elastic with the T-shirt.

By making another stitch on the surface, you can mask the elastic. It is in this simple way that your wardrobe has been replenished with an original, designer T-shirt.
