Made-to-measure T-shirt pattern
To get a made-to-measure T-shirt pattern, start from a photo of the garment you like: the studio reads its neckline, its fit and its sleeve length, then drafts a pattern fitted to your body measurements, ready to print at 1:1 scale with its sewing instructions.
Made to measure, piece by piece
Why a T-shirt pattern to your measurements changes everything
The T-shirt looks simple, but it's the piece that shows a poor fit fastest: shoulders too wide, a dropping armhole, a guessed body length. Starting from your bust, your shoulder length and your back length, we draft a T-shirt that follows your shoulders and falls at the right height — neither baggy nor tight.
The studio covers the short-sleeved T-shirt, the round or V-neckline with its neckband supplied as a proper piece, the fitted or looser cut, and the sleeveless vest top with a finished armhole. The ease is set according to whether you want it close-fitting or relaxed. With long sleeves, the base changes: the top is then drafted with cuffs and a ribbed hem — it's a knit top rather than a hemmed tee, and it belongs to the jumper and sweatshirt family.
You receive a pattern to print at home, seam allowances included, with markings and grainline, along with clear sewing instructions — ideal for a first piece in jersey. In the studio, you can adjust the ease free of charge and, depending on the design drafted, other points too.

Questions we're often asked
Questions about the pattern for T-shirt
Can I get a T-shirt pattern from a photo?
Yes. A sharp front-view photo lets the studio read the neckline, the sleeve length and the fullness; then your body measurements draft the pattern. A back view or a close-up of the finishes refines the result further.
What measurements do I need for a made-to-measure T-shirt?
The eleven body measurements we ask for, including bust, back length, shoulder length and upper arm; you can also start from a standard size. Saved in your default profile, they are loaded into your new projects.
Should I make a toile?
Yes, a toile is recommended: cut it from an inexpensive knit with similar stretch to your good fabric. Seam allowances included, grainline and construction notches marked: you print it at home at 1:1 scale and follow the step-by-step sewing instructions — an excellent first project in jersey.
How much does a made-to-measure T-shirt pattern cost?
Pay-as-you-go credits, no subscription: the Discovery pack at €9.99 (10 credits) covers your first pattern, which costs 10. In the studio, you can adjust the ease free of charge and, depending on the design drafted, other points too.
