Level Of Difficulty

Intermediate. Involves accurate marking and laying of the shoulder pleats, along with standard knit garment construction techniques.

Fabric Recommendations

Choose knit fabrics with medium to high stretch for optimal drape and comfort:

  • Knit fabrics made from natural fibers (e.g., cotton jersey, rayon jersey)
  • Knit fabrics made from blended fibers (e.g., cotton-spandex blends, poly-rayon blends)

Additional Supplies

No additional notions are required.

Cutter's Must

  • Front – 1 piece
  • Back – 1 piece
  • Sleeve – 2 pieces

Tip: Cut pieces made of knit fabrics should be stitched with a special elastic or narrow zigzag stitch. When serging, trim seam allowances to 0.6 – 0.8 cm. The hem allowance is topstitched with a twin needle to maintain elasticity.

Sewing Instructions

  1. Mark and lay the pleats on the front. Baste them in place at the shoulder edge.
  2. Stitch the shoulder edges of the back and front. Serge the seams and press them towards the back. Set the sleeves into the armholes. Serge the seams and press them towards the back. Stitch the side edges and sleeve edges. Serge the seams and press them towards the back.
  3. Serge the neckline edge. Fold the allowance to the wrong side and topstitch.
  4. Serge the lower sleeve edge. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
  5. Level the hemline of the T-shirt (depending on the knit, the lower edge of the front may drop). Serge the bottom edge of the garment. Fold to the wrong side, press, and topstitch.
