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.
