This is a simple raglan-sleeve T-shirt sewing pattern and tutorial.
Please use knit fabric or other stretch materials such as 2-way fabric when making it.
Raglan sleeves can be a little difficult to draft, so this pattern is also recommended as a base pattern.
It is also great for making your own original T-shirts.
The pattern is a short-sleeve type, so if you need long sleeves for cosplay costumes, please adjust the sleeve length to suit your needs.
After printing, align the join lines, tape the pages together, and cut out the pattern.
Seam allowances are already included, so you can use it as it is.
What are “Grainline” and “Cut on Fold”? Please refer to this page.
