Tech. Description

V-Neck T-Shirt with Curved Front Insets

A men's and unisex short-sleeved T-shirt in knit fabric with a V-neck and an asymmetric pieced front: two curved inset strips run from the chest seam down to the hem on one side.

When To Wear

In summer, with jeans, shorts or track trousers.
For sport and casual wear, on its own or under an open shirt.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, hip length.

Neckline: V-neck finished with a folded knit band, joined into a ring with the seam at the centre front point and topstitched with a stretch stitch.

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves, armhole seams topstitched.

Front: Pieced from four parts: an upper front across the chest, a lower front, and a bigger and a smaller inset that form two parallel curved strips, turning from the horizontal chest seam down to the hem.

Back: One piece.

Finishing: Seams sewn with a narrow zigzag or stretch stitch; hems of the body and sleeves overlocked, turned up and topstitched with a twin needle.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces and straight assembly; the curved inset seams and the V-neck band need careful matching of notches.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit (jersey) fabric. The front pieces can be cut in different colours.

Additional Supplies

Twin needle for the hems

Cutter's Must

From main fabric:
- Upper Front – 1 piece
- Lower Front – 1 piece
- Bigger Front Inset – 1 piece
- Smaller Front Inset – 1 piece
- Back – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces
- Collar – 1 piece

Tip: To ensure the material remains stretchy in the areas of finished seams, stitch the cut pieces with a narrow zigzag or a special stretchy stitch. To keep the bottom edge stretchy, the hem should be overlocked with an overlock stitch, and then stitched using a twin needle. The same applies to finishing other edges of the garment that should not lose elasticity. These recommendations do not apply to industrial production.

Sewing Instructions

Assembly. Stitch the front together from the Upper Front, Lower Front, Bigger Front Inset and Smaller Front Inset (see the technical drawing). Stitch the shoulder seams. Set the sleeves into the open armhole. Topstitch along the armhole seam. Stitch the side seams and the sleeve seams.
Fold the Collar in half lengthwise and stitch it into a ring. Set the collar into the neckline, stretching the collar edge and positioning the collar seam at the center front. Topstitch the collar setting seam with a stretchy stitch.
Overlock and press up the hem of the bottom and sleeves. Topstitch the bottom of the garment and the bottom of the sleeves.
Press the finished t-shirt.
