How to Draft a T-Shirt Pattern | Design Your Own Women's T-Shirt (Part 1)

Learn how to design your own women's T-shirt and draft a pattern from a basic knit block in this step-by-step sewing tutorial. In Part 1 of this two-part series, I'll show you how to adapt a basic T-shirt block to create your own design, adjust the silhouette and neckline, and draft the pattern pieces needed to make a T-shirt that suits your preferred fit and style. Rather than simply providing a finished pattern to follow, my aim is to help you develop the skills to create your own designs from basic blocks. FREE DOWNLOADABLE PATTERN A free downloadable knit block is available to help you follow along. You'll find the link below.

This tutorial is part of my knitwear playlist, where we'll explore garment design, pattern making and construction, starting with basic blocks and developing them into individual designs. With my 30-plus years of experience in the garment industry, I'm passionate about helping you understand not just how to sew a garment, but how to develop the skills to design and make your own fashion.
