Men's V-Neck Short Sleeve T-Shirt

A men's short-sleeve T-shirt in knit fabric, with a V-neck and sleeves finished with knit binding. Three pieces: front, back and sleeve.

When To Wear

On its own in summer, with jeans, chinos or shorts.
Under a shirt, cardigan or jacket the rest of the year.

Key Design Features

Silhouette: Straight, close to the body, no darts.

Length: Hip length.

Neckline: V-neck finished with knit binding, the seam allowance topstitched 0.5 cm from the seam.

Sleeves: Short set-in sleeves, sewn into the open armhole before the side seams are closed; hems finished with knit binding topstitched 0.5 cm from the seam.

Back: One piece, no seams.

Finishing: Side and sleeve seams sewn in one pass and serged; hem turned up and topstitched, with a twin needle to keep it stretchy.

Level Of Difficulty

Beginner. Few pieces, sleeves set in flat, and a binding on the neckline and sleeve hems; the knit needs a stretch or narrow zigzag stitch.

Fabric Recommendations

Knit fabric with medium stretch, in natural or blended fibres.

Additional Supplies

Knit binding for the neckline and sleeve hems

Cutter's Must

If the patterns have a double contour, they include seam allowances. If the contour is single, the patterns do not include seam allowances. Seam allowances: hem allowance – 1.5 cm, other seams 1 cm. Attention! First, print out the paper patterns and lay them out on the fabric width (fabric width can range 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
- Front – 1 piece
- Sleeve – 2 pieces

Tip: Knit fabric pieces are 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

Stitch the shoulder seams, press the allowances towards the back and serge.
Place the knit binding and the garment right sides together and stitch along the neckline edge. Fold the binding up, press allowances towards the garment and topstitch 0.5 cm from the stitching line.
Set the sleeves into the open armholes (before closing the side seams), press the allowances and serge.
Place the knit binding and the lower edge of the sleeve right sides together and stitch. Fold the binding down, press allowances towards the sleeve and topstitch 0.5 cm from the attaching seam.
Stitch side seams and sleeve seams in one continuous seam, press allowances towards the back and serge.
Serge the bottom edge of the garment, press to the wrong side and topstitch.
