This free sewing pattern is for a simple, classic short-sleeve T-shirt. It is designed for use with knit fabrics or 2-way stretch materials, making it comfortable and easy to wear. Seam allowances are already included, so you can cut and sew right away.
While T-shirt patterns may seem basic, they are surprisingly hard to find—especially for cosplay or custom projects where you need a specific style. This pattern allows you to create a perfectly fitting shirt in the fabric and color of your choice.
The included design is a short-sleeve version, but you can easily adjust the sleeve length to make a long-sleeve shirt for costumes or seasonal wear. For children’s sizes, the neckline and body have extra ease for comfort.
This is a beginner-friendly project that can be completed quickly, making it ideal for cosplay, casual wear, or as a base for custom printed designs. After printing, align the pages along the matching lines, tape them together, and cut out your fabric pieces.
The production process is explained with translation software.
