In the summer you can not do without an open jersey T-shirt. The pattern of a women's T-shirt is built according to your measurements very simply. When constructing a pattern for a women's T-shirt, it should be noted that the knitted fabric stretches by about 15-20% of its original size.

Therefore, when constructing a T-shirt pattern, it is necessary to subtract 15% of the measured value from the value of the half-girth of the chest.

Before you start building a pattern for a women's T-shirt, you need to take the following measurements:

Bust- 92 cm (half circumference of the chest - 46 cm)

Back length to waist- 38 cm

Armhole depth to measure– 21-22 cm

hip height(measured from the waist line to the hip line on the side) - 20 cm

From point A down, set aside the length of the back to the waist according to the measure - point T.

From point T down, set aside the height of the hips according to the measure - point B.

Draw horizontal lines. Drop a perpendicular down from point B.

T-shirt neckline. Set aside 7 cm from point A to the right and 15 cm down. Draw a neckline for the front of the T-shirt using the template.

Shirt shoulder width. From the point of the neckline to the right, set aside 3 cm - the width of the shoulder of the T-shirt. Up from the left point of the shoulder, set aside 1.5 cm - lifting the shoulder.

Draw an armhole cutout according to the pattern as shown in Fig. one.

Set aside 2.5 cm from point T1 to the left. Draw a line on the side of the shirt as shown in Fig. 1 Pattern for the front of the T-shirt.

Building a pattern for the back of a T-shirt

The pattern of the back of the T-shirt is built similarly to the pattern of the front of the T-shirt, with the exception of the neckline of the back - from deeper. For a detailed drawing of the pattern for the back of the T-shirt, see fig. 2 T-shirt back pattern.

How to cut a shirt

Front pattern - 1 piece with a fold

Back pattern - 1 piece with a fold

Allowances for the seams of the T-shirt - 0.5 cm, allowances for the neck and armholes do not (!), allowances for the bottom of the T-shirt - 2 cm.

You will need: slanting ready-made knitted trim for processing the armholes and the neck of the T-shirt and a double needle for hemming the bottom of the T-shirt.

How to sew a T-shirt

Put together face to face and overlock or zigzag stitch (stitch width 4 mm, stitch length 2 mm) the side seams of the shirt and the shoulder seams of the shirt.

Tuck the bottom of the shirt and sew with a double needle.

Bend the slanting finished knitted inlay in half, wrap it around the neckline of the T-shirt and stitch, slightly stretching along the edge of the inlay. Tuck the ends of the inlay and re-stitch (at the side seams). Treat the armholes of the shirt in the same way.

You can make a great (and, moreover, practical) gift for a child who is passionate about pirate themes: sew a T-shirt with a suitable pattern on your own. How to do this - our master class will tell you with step-by-step photos and a detailed description.

Clothing with raglan sleeves is a good way to diversify your wardrobe. This also applies to children's clothing! The sleeves sewn "on the bias" look very original both on warm sweatshirts and on thinner long sleeves and T-shirts. And for a craftswoman, such sleeves are an opportunity to save on fabric.

The fact is that in such clothes, less fabric is used to cut out the front and back of the product than in T-shirts and sweaters with standard sleeves. And if your fabrics are tight, be sure to try to sew a children's T-shirt with raglan sleeves with your own hands!

To sew a T-shirt with your own hands, you will need:

cooler (natural knitwear without elastane) - 55 cm;

ribana with elastane (for the neck) - a small piece;

threads to match the fabric;

fabric scissors;

tailor's pins;

sewing machine with two interchangeable feet: regular (“zigzag foot”) and overlock (with a vertical side on the right).

The pattern of a children's T-shirt is suitable for size 104. Simply enlarge the image shown until the bottom edge of the front or back piece is 16 cm and transfer the pattern to paper.

The sleeve pattern is located in the photo in such a way that the top edge of this part should be attached to the front of the T-shirt, and the bottom to the back.

How to sew a children's T-shirt with your own hands: job description

1. Cut out all the necessary details for sewing a T-shirt from the fabric. From the cooler, this will be the front, back and two sleeves (before cutting, make sure that the sleeves are symmetrical). For the neck, cut out a strip 3 cm wide and 30 cm long from the ribana. Iron all the details immediately, and fold the neck blank in half and gently iron it.

2. Sewing a standard type T-shirt begins with sewing the shoulders. But in our case, this will not be needed, because there will be no line of shoulders as such. So first you need to sew the sleeves to the front of the T-shirt.

Attach the sleeves to the armholes on the front (face to face) and fasten with tailor pins along the entire curved line of the armhole.

3. Sew the sleeves to the front piece on the machine using a regular foot and a knit stitch with an interval of 3. If you have a regular natural cooler, there should be no problems. Another thing is the stretch cooler, which likes to deform during sewing and create waves at the seam.

4. Attach the free side edges of the sleeves to the back detail (also face to face), fasten with pins and sew in the same way with a knitted seam.

5. Change the presser foot. Instead of the usual, put on the overlock foot, select the overlock stitch with an interval of 4 (in the case of a smaller interval, the needle may “crash” into the foot and break). Overlock the seam allowances on all four seams.

6. Turn the product right side out. Use a regular foot, choose a straight stitch at 3 intervals and topstitch the seams of the sleeves, folding the seam allowances to the side of the front and back.

7. Fold the neckline in half (wrong side out) and topstitch the edges to form a ring. Turn the piece right side out and fold along the ironed fold.

8. Attach the neck to the main part of the T-shirt and attach it with pins to the neckline. In this case, you first need to attach the neck seam to the seam on the back of the product, and then evenly position the neck around the entire perimeter of the neck cut, slightly stretching it.

9. Sew the neck to the T-shirt using the knit stitch. The junction of the neck with the T-shirt will look like this:

10. Attach the overlock foot and select the same stitch. Process the seam allowances of the neck. Then put on a regular foot, choose a straight stitch with an interval of 3 and sew the neck along the front of the T-shirt, folding the allowances down.

11. Pin the sides of the T-shirt and the sleeves with pins.

12. Sew these seams with a knit stitch, and then finish the edges of the fabric with an overlock stitch.

13. The T-shirt is almost ready - it remains to process only the bottom of the product and the edges of the sleeves. Tuck the bottom of the T-shirt twice on the wrong side (the first time - 0.5 cm, and the second - 1 cm), fix with pins, and then secure with a basting seam.

14. Sew the bottom of the product with a straight seam.

15. In the same way, double-fold the edges of the sleeves and sew them with a straight seam on a typewriter.

T-shirt with raglan sleeves for the boy is ready! Using this pattern, you can also sew a long-sleeve T-shirt: for this, simply lengthen the sleeves to the desired size. Good luck with your creativity!

We hope that our master class was useful to you and left no questions about how to sew a children's T-shirt with your own hands according to the proposed pattern. And if you still have questions, we suggest asking them in the comments to the article.

Hello. Everyone can sew a knitted T-shirt with their own hands without a pattern. It's simple.

If you have a T-shirt that you can trace around and make a pattern for another, great! If not, then take measurements from the figure.

Before you start drawing a T-shirt, get ready

First, you need measurements from the figure, I put my measurements for an example:

Neck girth, mine 37cm;
Bust, 92 cm;
Hips, 98 cm;
Armhole height (from the top of the shoulder to the armpit), 18 cm;
T-shirt length, 56 cm;

Secondly, I find out the degree of stretching of knitwear

Different knitwear has different elasticity. One does not stretch much, the other freely stretches twice.

I chose cotton lace with lycra. It stretches by about 130 - 150%, i.e. 10 cm in a calm state can be stretched up to 15 cm and at the same time knitwear will look normal. With this stretch, I took a negative increase of 20%.

Thirdly, I prepare the fabric for cutting

You can wash the cut in the usual cycle of the washing machine, or you can simply steam it with an iron.

Drawing and cutting

Tank top length equal to Length by measure (56 cm), plus 3 cm for hem and plus 3 for stretching. When the shirt stretches on the body, it will understandably become shorter. And in general, it is better to cut off than to sew on ...

Top Width: Bust / 4 - 20% negative increase = 92/4 * 0.8 = 18.4 cm, I take 19 cm.

Bottom width. If the T-shirt reaches the hips, then it is better not to make a negative increase along the hips. Otherwise, when moving, the T-shirt will constantly ride up at the waist.

The pattern will look something like this, sorry for the clumsy line

My T-shirt ends just below the waist, so it has the same width at the bottom as at the top. Whether a bend is needed, I'll find out at the fitting.

I find the end of the neck - the beginning of the shoulder seam.

I put it to the right of the top Neck girth / 5 - 20% increase + 2-3 cm (more if desired). 37/5*0.8+3=8.92 cm, I take 9 cm.

Shoulder line and armhole height as shown. Only I did not add 2 cm to the Height of the armhole. The shoulder bevel is guided by your shoulder line. My shoulders and back are straight, so I take 1.5 cm. If there is a stoop or sloping shoulders, take 3-4 cm.

I take the width of the strap 6 cm. I draw the line of the armhole. I start and end at right angles.

If you do not want to show the junction of the arm and body, make the armhole narrower, the shoulder wider. Then, when you try it on, you can correct it.

Back neck

Shelf neck

These are the distances I got.

I cut out the detail. I will process the neck and armhole with piping and there is no increase there. On the shoulder and side seam, I have an increase of 7 mm (under the overlock line). Below 3 cm on the hem, I laid immediately.

On the cut out part I cut out the second.

Sewing

I prepare the piping and start sewing.

Similarly, I process the cuts of the armholes. I join the side seams.

T-shirt is a familiar wardrobe item that can be worn in any situation. It is incredibly simple, but everyone needs it. It is combined with different things, complemented with accessories. A shirt that fits well on the figure will be appropriate both on the beach and in the office. It is only necessary to approach her choice with imagination. In a product made of high-quality fabric, you can feel comfortable in the summer heat. And on a cool day, it will warm you with cozy warmth.

You don't have to buy a useful item. We will tell you how to make a new thing yourself.

Preparation for work

To make a shirt, you will need to take measurements. And besides, find out how much the knitwear will stretch in the process.

Required data

neck girth (OSh).
Chest girth (OG). Removed strictly horizontally through the protruding points of the chest
Hip circumference (OB). It is measured horizontally through the protruding points of the buttocks.
Armhole depth (GP). This is the distance from the top of the shoulder to the armpit.
Product length (CI).

If the fabric can be stretched without losing its appearance by 130-150%, then a negative increase factor of 20% must be used.

If the material has an average degree of stretch, then the allowance for free fit will be zero.

Important. Before working with knitted fabric, it must be washed in a gentle mode and ironed (“knitwear” mode).

How to sew a simple summer T-shirt without a pattern

When you need to do the work yourself, and quickly, in a short time, without a pattern, you need to perform several actions.

Take your T-shirt, the style of which is completely satisfactory.
Fold it in half face inward and circle the outline on paper.
Fold the cut in half, place the paper pattern close to the fold and cut out the back.
Deepen the neck to the desired size.
Cut out the front of the shirt.

In places where seams are supposed to be, maintain an allowance of 1 cm. First, stitch the shoulder details of the T-shirt with a regular seam, and then process it with a “zigzag”.

Similarly, sew the sides of the product. If the fabric is very elastic, then use only such a line. So the seam will not burst in the process of wearing.

Finish the neckline and armholes. Then bend inward by 0.5 cm and lay a regular line (stitch length 2-3 mm). Treat the bottom in the same way.

Advice. So that during the cutting process the pattern does not slip on the fabric, you can fix it with needles.

For an attractive and neat look, the neck is treated with edging.. This will prevent stretching while wearing.

On the piping you will need knitwear of a similar or contrasting color. A 4 cm wide oblique strip is cut from it. Further, the procedure is as follows.

Bend the strip face outward and iron.
Unfold and lay each half inside, iron. You will get an edge in 4 additions.
Sew one shoulder.
Starting from the free shoulder, attach the piping to the front side of the product. Baste to the neck, slightly pulling.
Attach the inside of the piping so that the basting lines match, and the neckline is covered with fabric as much as possible.
Lay the seam on the sewing machine at a distance of 1 mm from the edge.

Remove the basting and sew the second shoulder. The armhole can be processed in the same way. This must be done before the sides are sewn.

In this way, you can sew a homemade T-shirt from an old T-shirt for a little girl.

How to sew a women's one-shoulder t-shirt

Asymmetric armhole is a fashion trend. To make a one-shoulder top yourself, you should build a pattern according to all the rules. Or you can use a ready-made T-shirt or T-shirt.

The procedure for making a fashionable top

Lay out the shirt on the surface.
Retreat on one side 2 cm down from the armhole.
Attach a long ruler and draw a straight line to the second strap;
Cut off unnecessary parts with sharp scissors.

To fix the neck, you will need a linen elastic band. Finish the edge with a zigzag, tuck inward and sew so that the elastic can be threaded through.

Such a neckline will not stretch, and the top will hold securely on the body. To decorate the product, you can attach a brooch or other decorative element to the shoulder.

Advice. Similarly, you can do with a T-shirt, then you get a blouse with one sleeve.

How to sew a tank top dress

A tank top dress can be a convenient element of a basic wardrobe. For this dress you will need:

cut, 140-150 cm wide and equal to the length of the dress.
Two T-shirts, one of which fits the figure, and the second has a free silhouette.
Scissors, needles and threads.

To build a pattern grid, you need to draw a rectangle with CI dimensions vertically and a half-circumference of the hips horizontally.

Fold the smaller shirt right side in and trace it on the paper.
Attach a large T-shirt to the armhole line. Extend its side line to the bottom.
Cut out details with allowances.
Deepen the neck and repeat all the steps for the shelf.

How to sew a T-shirt for sleeping

In order to make a comfortable night T-shirt for sleeping, you will need two pieces of fabric measuring 50x50 cm.

Front

Lay out one of the cuts on a flat plane and fold in half.
Measure from the upper inner corner 12 cm down (neck) and 10 cm to the side (shoulder point). Connect the dots;
Set aside the width of OG/4 +1 cm, cut off the excess fabric.
From the upper outer corner, set aside 7 cm down (armhole). Connect with a smooth line to the point of the shoulder.
From the armhole, lay 6 cm down and draw a horizontal line 11 cm long (chest point).
Mark from the corner of the undercut 1 cm up and down. Connect each to a chest point to make a triangle.
Stitch the grooves, smooth them out.

Back

From the upper inner corner, set aside 12 cm down (cutout).
Measure the width of the product OG/4 +1 cm.
Connect the cutout point with a smooth line to the outer upper corner, cut out.

To strengthen the top of the shirt, you need to cut strips of fabric 10 cm wide, repeating the top lines of the pattern. Prepare the straps: cut out rectangles 3 cm wide and stitch them. You can use ready-made bias tape.

Assembly

Process all the details on an overlock or a zigzag seam.
Sew the sides.
Take on straps.
Attach a trim to the top.
Process the bottom.

If the fabric is loose, then you can use a linen or "Moscow" seam. The technology is as follows: fold the details inside out, stitch, turn out and stitch again so that the edges are inside the seam. Iron the finished product.

Advice. To make adjustable straps, use a buckle with a jumper. You need to thread the fabric through the buckle before it is sewn to the shirt.

If you additionally sew shorts, you get a wonderful pajama set for sleeping.

T-shirts that look like underwear tops are now at the height of fashion. Sewing such a product with your own hands is not at all difficult. For decor, you need black lace. It can be stitched on top, or it can be inserted between the facing and the shelf.

Beginner Tips

It is not always possible for a beginner seamstress to work with knitwear. Often, due to inexperience, the side seams are too tightened, so the product wrinkles.
To prevent the side seams from pulling together, you can use tracing paper. It is attached with needles on both sides of the product. Then a seam is laid, and the paper is carefully torn off.
In order not to damage the product, it is necessary try on a T-shirt at every stage. In addition, basting seams and the use of an iron will help.
Necessarily process fabric before sewing to prevent shrinkage of the finished product.

Features of sewing T-shirts on straps and straps

In the process of making a tank top with straps, you can use several ways to attach them.

Mounting options:

strong threads;
decorative rings, with threaded straps;
straps from oblique inlay.

Features of the cut of the T-shirt with straps is that the details are cut out without taking into account the straps. This means that it requires less fabric. For the manufacture of straps, an identical fabric, finished inlay, as well as any other material can be used.

The specifics of working with different materials

Each fabric has its own unique properties that must be considered when working. By following simple rules, you can avoid difficulties.

When working with an atlas

Wash and iron before use as the fabric may shrink.
Iron along the warp thread so as not to stretch the fabric or deform the product.
Before cutting, cover the surface of the table with a non-slip cloth.
Take into account seam allowances in the process of constructing a pattern.
Choose thin and sharp needles so that there are no puffs on the surface.
Baste satin details so that they move synchronously under the sewing machine foot.

When working with knitwear

Consider the direction of the shared thread when cutting.
Do not stretch the material to avoid warping.
When processing sections, add a bias tape so that the seam does not lengthen.
Use special needles with a rounded end.
Check the quality of the seam on a separate flap.
Do not stretch the fabric when sewing.
Press all seams through a damp cloth to smooth them out.

The main advantage of knitwear is elasticity and the ability to return to its original shape. This feature must be taken into account in the work and used for your own purposes.

How to decorate a T-shirt with lace

Lace is an element of decor that will turn even the most ordinary everyday T-shirt into an elegant evening dress.

Use cases

Make a cut along the back from the bottom, leaving 5-10 cm to the top, and insert a triangle of lace with a wedge.
Sew lace elements in the form of a collar.
A fragment of cotton lace can be sewn anywhere on the shirt, and then cut off excess material from the inside.

You can use lace both in the color of the T-shirt and in contrasting colors.

Unusual T-shirts with your own hands

How to sew a T-shirt for a doll

Making clothes for dolls is jewelry work. Our advice will help even a girl cope with it. To build a pattern, the doll is placed on the surface, shoulder lines, armholes and vertical lines are marked. They are carried out tangentially to the body.

You need to make two such sketches: for the back and for the shelf. Deepen the neck on the details of the shelf. Cut the back in half lengthwise.

Cut out three pieces with seam allowances. Details are drawn out. When stitching the back, the size of the doll's head is taken into account. After trying on, you can determine how to stitch the back. And at the top you will need to sew a button or Velcro.

How to sew a T-shirt for a car seat

To sew protective covers like "t-shirt" for car seats, you need to make a pattern. Using paper (polyethylene) and a marker, circle the following details:

front of the back;
back of the back;
seat.

The side parts of the seat should not be covered with covers, because they will block the airbag modules.

When choosing a fabric for covers, you should give preference to dense knitwear. The front part of the cover will be made of two elements (seat and back), the back of one. The top of the parts is sewn like a T-shirt so that a headrest passes through the “neck”. To process the side cuts, you should choose a dense wide elastic band and make ties for fastening from it.

Currently, the choice of T-shirts is very wide and varied, but everyone wants to create something original and special. Sewing a T-shirt with your own hands is cheap and very easy. This activity will help to pass the time with pleasure, 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 create such a product, you must have general sewing skills, attentiveness and a desire to create an unusual author's thing. In the embodiment of such a dream, some necessary information in building a T-shirt will help.

Building the base of the pattern

To properly 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 it is not necessary to draw a bust and waist tuck, which will greatly simplify the task.

First you need to take measurements in a strict sequence: neck, chest, waist, back width. They are divided in half, since the drawing is built in half size.

On the resulting line, we measure 1⁄2 of 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 obtained points. Now the back, armhole and front of the product are marked in the drawing.

Divide the armhole area in half and draw a line down. It will indicate the side cut of the product in front and back. Having additionally taken a measurement, the length of the waist of the back, put this measurement down, draw a horizontal line - this will be the waist line. From the waist down we set aside 18-20 cm, mark the line of the hips.

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

Now you need to build an armhole.

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

We draw a right angle, put the length of the sleeve down, draw the width of the sleeve to the right, it is calculated by the formula: divide the chest girth by 3 and add 6 cm, put a point. We set aside 3⁄4 of the depth of the armhole down - this is the height of the eyelet. In the drawing, the sleeve width 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.

The video below shows a clear example of building a pattern in a short time using a special computer program.

Modeling

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 human figure. In other words, this is a certain basis for the manufacture of the product. Modeling consists of four stages: analysis of the idea, selection of the base for the product, introduction of changes to the resulting base and tailoring of the garment.

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

Off Shoulder T-shirt Dress

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

With one-piece sleeve

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

Polo shirt

On the front pattern, mark the depth of the polo fastener (about 15 cm). Separately, we cut out the bar, in finished form 3.5 cm and 16 cm long. We shorten the sleeve to the desired length, reduce the base of the front and back by 2.5 cm along the side seam to fit. Additionally, we build a collar.

Building a pattern for this model in the next video.

Raglan sleeve

We put the front half of the sleeve and the T-shirt on top of each other, aligning the shoulder sections 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.

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

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

Below is an example of a multilayer sleeve.

For full

The pattern of a t-shirt for overweight does not differ much from the pattern of 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 fullness of the figure. Then, along the armhole and side seam, add 1.5-2 cm to expand the product.

We offer a master class on sewing a large size T-shirt in the next video.

Hooded

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

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

V-neck

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

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

What fabric are they sewn from?

Nowadays every woman's wardrobe is unimaginable 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 the everyday look.

In order for a T-shirt not to cause discomfort when worn, it must be pleasant to the touch, this, first of all, depends on what the thing is made of.

Consider a few examples of fabrics from which you can sew a practical T-shirt.

Poplin

This fabric is made from organic cotton. Thick and thin threads, intertwined, create a special texture inherent in this fabric. It is painted 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 shed, has a high level of strength, pleasant texture, retains heat, does not wrinkle, hypoallergenic, has an affordable price.

To choose really high-quality poplin, you need to see if the label indicates the addition of synthetic fibers. If they are, such a fabric is of poor quality, it is very dangerous for allergy sufferers, does not absorb water well and is easily wrinkled.

Knitwear

This material is knitted from natural or synthetic threads on a typewriter. The loops of which it consists can change position and stretch, due to a certain location. The starting materials are yarn and threads.

One of the advantages is the structure of the fabric, which does not wrinkle. Knitwear is airtight, which is why it keeps you warm in cold weather and warm on hot days. It stretches perfectly, thereby adapting to any figure and is easy to care for, since it does not even require ironing.

Cotton

This fabric is one of the natural ones. A cotton T-shirt is perfect for the 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 enough and stable, which is why things cannot stretch or shrink. Even with frequent washing, they do not lose a number of these characteristics.

The main advantage is that fabrics made of cotton do not crumble when sewing and are pleasant to the touch.

Lace

Currently, T-shirts made of lace are gaining more and more popularity. In combination with the right 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, has an interesting texture. A T-shirt made of lace will be not only beautiful, but also elegant. It is she who will add notes of festivity to the image.

Kulirka or culinary surface

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 cooler tee is great for summer as it wicks away moisture from the skin but is also breathable.

Thanks to special loops, the satin stitch does not wrinkle, retains its original appearance even after washing, does not require ironing, so things from this fabric can be stored in the closet and dressed without using an iron.

Interlock (dual elastic)

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

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

How to cut?

In order for everything to turn out perfectly even, you need to make a pattern on the fabric on a perfectly flat surface. In addition, you will need scissors, tools to help markup, a ruler and chalk.

The existing 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 placed so that their center is on the fold of the fabric, as they do not need to be cut. Next are the smaller parts, 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 with a fold and a second pair are located face to face on the reverse side. This is very convenient, because it is on this side that you can make various kinds of notes: pockets, button locations, folds. Thus, these chalk markings will not be visible on the front of the product.

It is very easy to sew the products marked on the reverse side, namely those parts that have a pair.

The front side serves to locate 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.

Do not forget about the correct location of the direction of the share thread of the part with the share thread of the fabric. Since the tissue along the lobar thread is less likely to be distorted.

The layout is of several types:

Longitudinal fold (Folds in half with the front side inward).
Transverse (Folds inward along the transverse line with the front sides inward).
Two folds (The fabric is located along the warp threads).
Turn (This layout is not economical, since there are many lunges. It is used when laying out parts that have an asymmetric shape).
Partial fold (The fabric is unfolded to the width, respectively, along the warp thread, since the folded parts need a lot of space. The remaining parts are located on the fabric placed in one layer).
Turn (It is used in the case of a small footage of fabric, it is cut and unfolded 180 degrees).
On an oblique (It is used if the parts need to be made more mobile, it unfolds, respectively, along an oblique).

It is worth noting that when choosing a layout, it is necessary to take into account the features of the fabric and the pattern itself.

How to sew with your own hands: a master class for beginners

A self-made 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 there is an unwanted T-shirt in the closet, you can create a new product based on it. To do this, you need to open the old product, iron 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 looks even. The armhole is not needed, because the shoulders are lowered in this model of the product.

The remaining pieces of fabric will serve as the edging of the neckline. Parameters such as width and length must be calculated independently, it all depends on personal wishes.

Tailoring

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

Neck facing

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 be smaller than the circumference of the neck. In this case, the edging will not turn out.
