How to Copy Your Favourite T-Shirt | LYDIA NAOMI

Hellooo friends! Welcome to my first tutorial! I am teaching you how to make a t-shirt pattern block so that you can make all kinds of other jersey tops and dresses! Materials: 1. Regular Fit t-shirt - find a t-shirt that isn't too loose or too tight. It should fit you nicely in the shoulders and should just fit over your chest and hip area without stretching. 2. Tracing Paper - or you can use parchment, wrapping or newspapers taped together! Be resourceful! 3. Invisible tape - or any tape 4. Heavy paper - I have a roll of heavy craft paper, you can also buy some bristol board from the dollar store 5. Pins - or you can just iron your t-shirt flat 6. Pencil and eraser - mechanical is the best but any will do! 7. Black Marker - this is just so you can clearly label your pattern block 8. Grid ruler - or just a plain ruler is fine but grid rulers allow you to create 90 degree angles and parallel lines 9. Paper scissors - mine are from the dollar store 10. French Curve and Hip Curve - no need to buy these, simply search 'printable french and hip curve' and print these onto card stock, cut out and use! 11. Tracing wheel - make sure it's sharp if you get one 12. Self-healing Mat - (if you are going to use a tracing wheel) or just use some cereal box cardboard 13. String - enough to cover the circumference of your bust, waist and hip line 14. Measuring tape Definitions Pattern Block - A foundational pattern that does not include seam allowance and can be altered into many differ
