T-shirt base pattern made of elastic materials

T-shirt pattern with wide straps

Just like a T-shirt with narrow straps, an elastic material is also used for a T-shirt with wide straps.

Build a drawing of the base of the T-shirt using reduced (reduced) values ​​of dimensional features, reduce the dimensional features of girths by 15%, the dimensional features of length - by 5%.

Shorten front and back by 2 cm (see drawing)

Expand 1 cm in front and back along the side lines at the waist. Deepen the armhole front and back by 2 cm.

From the new bottom line, set aside 40 cm up along the line of the middle of the front, 45 cm along the line of the middle of the back.

Divide the shoulder lines of the front and back in half and from the points obtained

set aside to the left and right by 1.75 cm (half the width of the straps).

Draw the model lines of the armhole and neckline in accordance with the drawing.

For right position necklines and armholes on the finished T-shirt, you should change the angle of inclination of the shoulder line of the front and back. To do this, lower the shoulder line of the front and back at the neckline by 0.5 cm, and at the armhole - raise by 0.5 cm.

Now, before continuing further construction, you need to draw allowances for the seams. On knitwear, a 1 cm allowance is enough. Draw allowances along the shoulder seam, neckline, armhole, side seam and bottom.
Next, you need to build a skirt. Step down from (.) D 2 cm and from this point draw a horizontal line equal to one quarter of the measurement of your hips minus 2-4 cm (this value depends on the extensibility of the knitwear, the more it stretches, the larger this number, but do not worry, since the fitting will decide everything.) From this point (.) down the vertical.
Further along the fold down the desired length of the skirt, I want 34 cm and from this point to the left the horizontal until it intersects with the vertical.
From the conditional (.) B (conditional because we retreated down 2 cm) to the left one quarter of your waist measurement minus 2-4 cm. I have it 19. I wanted to make the waist line 2 cm lower, respectively, the measurements have changed.
Connect point 19 with a smooth curved line to the side seam. On the fitting, the side seam is adjusted. Draw 1 cm seam allowances along the waist line and side seam, 3-4 cm seam allowance along the bottom.
Cut out the front and skirt. Attach a shelf to the opposite upper cut, chop, grind. Don't rush to cut. First you need to draw the neck of the back in accordance with the drawing. Put on the skirt, pin and cut out the details of the back and skirt.

Hello! Is it possible to add sleeves to this top and sew a T-shirt for sleep from 100% cotton? Do I need to extend the shoulder line for this to sew in the sleeve?

Administrator: Hello, the pattern is made for fabric with no stretch or with a little stretch, not for knitwear., pay attention to this.

The sleeve can be completed if you have the skills of designing and modeling. Whether it is necessary to extend the shoulder at the same time, you need to look at the fitting of the layout.

Natalia 06/25/2019 00:15:23

Liked the pattern! On the growth of 172, the type of figure "slender column" fit size UP TO 170! An awl without undercuts, trimming the neck and armholes with a thin oblique trim (all from the inside), instead of a zipper, a button with an eyelet. It came out great in a summer light yellow color. Thank you

Administrator: Hello, thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked the pattern! Wear with pleasure!

Natalia 05/21/2019 19:56:42

Good afternoon! Thank you for the opportunity to try your pattern, it will help me decide in the future with the right choice size. After looking and reading the instructions for printing the pattern, I still did not ideally print it. The square corresponds to the size, but all the other sheets were printed with only one limit line, it is not clear how and where to glue

Administrator: Hello, if the frames do not go on all 4 sides of the sheet, then your print settings are violated.

You need to check the following parameters:

1. When printing, check the "orientation" setting. This setting should be “self-portrait / album”, because of the incorrectly set orientation, the margins of the sheet may move out.

2. Check if you have a check mark in the field "Select paper source by pdf page size", you do not need to check the box there.

3. If you are printing from a browser, please note that printing from a browser may not be correct. It is better to print the pattern by first downloading it to your device.

With the same settings, with which the test square is printed exactly 10 by 10 cm, with a letter and a number in the upper left corner and with margins on all 4 sides, you need to print a pattern. Then the pattern will be the correct size, with margins and numbering.

detailed instructions for printing patterns are on our website -

Good afternoon! This is the most interesting free top) thank you. As a fan of jersey, I sewed from it, it turned out well, but some places look thick, so it's better to sew from a suit. From myself I added a piping to the armhole. Of the shortcomings: the armhole is small, uncritically, and the chest tuck is located rather low.

Administrator: Hello, in the description of tailoring, we give the following sequence of assembling the top and facing:
- Stitch shoulder and side seams
- Stitch shoulder and side seams
- stitch the product and turn around the neck
- turn out
- stitch the product and the facing along the armholes in two steps: first fold front sides armholes of the product and turning from the shoulder to the side along the front - grind. Then unfold and fold the front sides of the armhole of the product and facing from the shoulder to the side along the back - stitch. We'll have to crawl, it's not easy, but it's possible, and it turns out neatly as a result.

There are several ways to connect the facing with the base, you may like the method that we showed in our free master classroom on youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1YaP9Hj14Q&t=245s&list=PLvRH25t1YWHnHYKwYk-532N4hdROpIoc2&index=8

How can I continue with other patterns?
Thank you.

Administrator: Good afternoon! This model of the top is free-cut, it contains large increases. For free-cut patterns, you can still choose size 48, but with small volume patterns, we advise you to be careful, as they may be small for you, and it is better to choose size 50.

The top is a shoulder product of a light women's assortment. It got its name from the English “top”, which means “top”. As a rule, a top is called a women's and children's shortened lightweight model, which is a variation of a T-shirt, sleeveless blouse, T-shirt.

zara.net

The materials from which tops are made

Like all textiles, tops can be divided into two groups according to the type of materials used: knitted or sewn from fabric.

As a rule, they have external differences:

• knitted fabric models resemble a sleeveless T-shirt;
• knitted models are similar to linen assortment, T-shirts;
• fabric models, which can also be called sleeveless blouses.

The materials from which tops are made have no restrictions on the fibrous composition. For knitwear thin fabrics typical for T-shirts are used: satin stitch and erasers different types. Since T-shirts are worn on the body as the first layer, it is necessary to choose fabrics made from natural fibers that have high hygienic properties, air and moisture permeability.

For tops that are analogous to blouses, light fabrics made from natural or blended fibers should be preferred. It is possible to use fabrics with the addition of elastane, which provide a better fit of the product. For models intended for evening outings and short-term wear, it is possible to use fabrics and linens made of artificial fibers, polyester, polyamide. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the degree of fit and the presence of open areas in the product to ensure comfortable wearing of the product.

Making a pattern of a women's top from knitwear

Consider the option of making a top with straps from a thin knitted fabric.

Straps in this case can be:

• one-piece with a shelf and a back, have short shoulder seams;
• made of inlay in continuation of the edging of the armhole.

The pattern of a knitted T-shirt is built on the basis of the basic design of a blouse or dress of an adjacent silhouette. To design a pattern for a top with straps, it is necessary to gradually modify the base.

• Determine the degree of extensibility of the fabric by a practical method of applying material to a mannequin or living figure.
• Transfer the resulting widths along the girths of the chest and hips to the design.
• Model the neckline along the shelf and back.
• Display the location of the straps. If necessary, outline the facing of the neck of the shelf.
• Chest and waist darts level due to the extensibility of the canvas.
• Lengthen the center of the shelf by 0.5-0.7 cm for better balance finished product.

rudenko-anna.ru

The assembly of such a model consists in the sequential edging of open sections and sewing of the side seams on a sewing stitch machine.

The technological order of connecting parts is as follows:

• edge the cuts of the neck along the shelf and back;
• edging the armhole of the shelf with the transition to the shoulder strap, edging the armhole of the back with a single piece;
• repeat the edging of the armholes of the second side of the details, starting from the back, ending with the shelf;
• stitch the side seams on the overlock;
• bend and fix the bottom of the product with elastic single or double stitching.

Making a pattern for a women's top from fabric

A women's sleeveless blouse made of fabric is also called a top. A simple silhouette usually does not require a strong fit and retaining all the darts to form the silhouette.

listit.com

The pattern of a fabric topic, as a variant of a sleeveless blouse, is built even easier than a knitted one. For modification, it is necessary to make changes to the design of the shoulder product.

• Close the chest tuck, transfer part of it in lowering the inclination of the shoulder of the shelf.
• Balance the front and back. Model the neckline along the shelf and back.
• Check side seams.
• To balance the finished product, lengthen the shelf by 0.5-0.7 cm.

odensa-sama.ru

The assembly of the textile top on the straps is different from the knitted model. The processing of open edges depends on the designer's idea and can be made in the form of inlays, facings, decorative piping, lace. The edging of the cuts of the armholes, in turn, can be done in two ways: with stitched side seams or on an open armhole.

The priority is the second, more technological processing option.

• to grind shoulder sections, iron and overcast.
• Turn over the resulting closed neck in accordance with the model.
• Treat open armholes with piping or facing, depending on the model.
• Stitch the side seams, iron, overcast the cuts.
• Hem the bottom of the product.

A pattern of a top with sleeves is built in a similar way based on the basic design of a dress or blouse. In the case of an adjacent silhouette, the chest darts are preserved, the sleeve is modeled in accordance with the design. In a loose top-blouse silhouette, tucks can be ignored. Process sequence the connection of parts is carried out as in any textile product with the sleeve sewn into a closed armhole.

listit.com

There are other options for constructing a topic pattern, for example, based on an existing model. In this case, it is enough to transfer the parameters directly to the material or paper, specify the cut lengths, and assemble the product by repeating the processing of the sample.

Light tops form the basis of a harmonious wardrobe. They are worn and combined with any bottom: skirts, trousers, jeans. There are no restrictions in the compilation of sets and ensembles: it is enough to maintain a stylistic balance and suit the occasion.

Top pattern - details

Rice. 1: Top pattern - front

Rice. 2: Top pattern - back

Building a pattern

Rice. 3. Top pattern - construction

Rice. 4. Top pattern - cut details

To build a pattern, we need to take a few measurements:

Hip circumference - 98 cm

Shoulder length - 12 cm

Sleeve length ¾ - 33 cm

Top length from waist - 20 cm

If you want to lengthen or shorten the top or sleeve, this can be easily done. If your chest circumference is larger than your hip circumference, use the bust measurement when constructing a top pattern.

Since this top has a loose fit, the presented pattern will fit sizes 46-48.

On a tracing paper, build a drawing of a top pattern as shown in fig. 3. The width of the front / back depends on the circumference of the hips. The more you add to your measurements, the more folds will be on the bottom of the top. The same goes for the bottom of the sleeve.

The width of the front / back of the top according to the pattern: ¼ of the circumference of the hips according to the measurements + (9-11) cm: 98/4 + 9 = 33 cm. (You can increase the increase by 2 cm for more volume on the bottom).

Sleeve length according to the drawing = shoulder length + sleeve length according to the measurements: 12+33=45cm.

Neckline - set aside 22.5 cm at a right angle as shown in Figure 3. Draw a smooth curved line of the neckline on the template or by hand, retreating 2 cm to the right (assembly along the neck).

In the middle of the front, set aside 9 cm from the neckline down - put a mark on the cut.

How to cut a top

Any top will do cotton fabric: thin linen, cambric, viscose. can be calculated in this way: Top length + sleeve length according to the pattern.

From the main fabric cut out:

Top shelf - 1 piece with a fold

The back of the top - 1 piece with a fold

Sleeve - 2 parts

Additionally, cut out 2 pieces of cuffs 6 cm wide (2 cm finished) 24 cm long (22 cm finished).

2 oblique strips for threading into the drawstring along the neckline and along the bottom of the top, about 115 cm long and 3 cm wide.

IMPORTANT! On the bottom of the top, you can also make a narrow cuff instead of a drawstring.

1 oblique strip for processing the cut of the shelf 20 cm long and 3 cm wide.

Allowances for all seams - 1.5 cm.

How to sew a top

Finish the details of the cut with an overlay seam. Sew sleeves at bottom seams. Stitch the side seams of the top. Stitch sleeves into armholes. Cut the shelf to the mark, process the cut of the shelf.

Assemble along the bottom of the sleeves, stitch the cuff details along the short sides, sew to the sleeves, bend in half, tuck the allowances and stitch along the edge of the cuffs.

Turn the neckline over and sew 1 cm from the edge. Tuck the bottom of the top and sew 1 cm from the edge. Sew inlays from oblique strips of fabric, thread one into the drawstring of the neck, the second into the drawstring along the bottom of the top. Tie knots at the ends of the inlays, gather the neckline and the bottom of the top to the desired length, tie the inlays into bows. Your top is ready - wear it with pleasure and be happy!
