LEARN TO SEW WITH KNITS: Make A Classic T-Shirt
The trend in apparel sewing is to download a PDF & piece together your pattern.
In the first part of this workshop Lindsay takes you through the process of purchasing, downloading, printing & piecing your pattern.
Then you'll be guided through the construction of the classic Union St. tee. The Union St. Tee is a great wardrobe basic to have in your pattern stash. It comes with the option for a v-neck, scoop neck, or crew neck, and has four sleeve lengths included: short, elbow, 3/4, and long. There is an optional chest pocket and a separate front piece that has been adjusted for a full bust (FBA).
This pattern is easy enough for a confident beginner to complete, using either a sewing machine or serger.
