Crew Neck Layered Short Sleeve T-Shirt

A women's hip-length T-shirt for knit fabric, with horizontal tucks stitched across the front, a folded neckband and short set-in sleeves.

When To Wear

In spring and summer with jeans, shorts or a skirt.
Under an open jacket or cardigan, where the tucked front stays visible.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Close to the body, straight from bust to hip.

Length: Hip length.

Neckline: Round crew neck finished with a neckband, sewn into a loop, folded in half lengthwise and stretched slightly into the neckline; the band seam sits at the left shoulder.

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves.

Front: One piece cut on the fold, with horizontal tucks folded wrong side in and stitched across the full width of the front.

Back: One piece cut on the fold, with no seams or details.

Finishing: Hems of the body and sleeves turned up and topstitched, with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to keep the stretch.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Four pieces and straight seams; the only extra steps are marking and stitching even tucks on the front and handling knit fabric with a stretch stitch or overlocker.

Fabric Recommendations

Soft knit fabric with medium stretch, from natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Twin needle for the hems (or a coverstitch machine)

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, seam allowances are included. If the contour is single, the patterns are without seam allowances. Seam allowances: all seams - 1.0 cm; hem allowance for the garment bottom and sleeve - 2 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can be from 90 cm to 150 cm) to determine how much material you will need. When stitching pieces, pay attention to the notches - they must match!

From main fabric:
- Back – 1 piece on fold
- Front – 1 piece on fold
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle or on a coverstitch machine to maintain elasticity. You can also stitch pieces directly on a 3- or 4-thread overlock machine.

Sewing Instructions

On the front piece, lay and stitch horizontal pleats, folding the piece wrong side in.
Stitch shoulder and side seams, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Stitch the collar into a loop, fold it in half lengthwise, and attach it to the neckline, stretching it slightly. The seam is located at the left shoulder seam. Serge allowances and press towards the main piece.
Stitch the sleeve seam, press allowances towards the back and serge. Set sleeves into armholes, matching notches, press allowances and serge.
Serge the hem allowance of the bottom and sleeve bottom, fold to the wrong side and topstitch.
