You can print this using your home\nprinter and A4\/Letter paper. I calculated the printing area so that you will be\nable to use either type of paper to print the pattern out perfectly. Always\nprint the first page first and check with the test square if you are printing\nat the right scale before you print out the whole pattern \u2013 avoid waste of ink\nand waste of paper, save the earth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some PC may print smaller than actual\nsize even when you choose 100% scale \u2013 I don\u2019t know why this problem exist, but\nmy HP laptop cannot print true to size. I have to scale up to 103% to get the\nright size. You may need to check with your PC to see if it prints true to\nsize, if not, scale up a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CUTTING INSTRUCTION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n After cutting and taping all the pages together, you will\nhave something similar to this (I chose size 5XL as sample):<\/p>\n\n\n\n You will see that there are 2 sets of\nlines on each pattern size. The inner lines are sewing line (and you sew along\nthese lines), and the outer lines are cutting lines (you cut the fabric along\nthese lines, remember the folding lines where you have to fold the fabric\nbefore cutting). The distance between sewing line and cutting line is seam\nallowance, and it varies from point to point. For example, the side seam\nallowance is about 1\/2 inch (1.2cm), and seam allowance at hemline is 1 inch\n(2.5cm). This is the reason why I do not remove the sewing lines from the\npattern. Please use it as a guide to know how much seam allowance you need to\ngive at each seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The pattern consists of 4 main pieces:<\/p>\n\n\n\n A. Front \u2013 cut 1 on fold<\/p>\n\n\n\n B. Back \u2013 cut 1 on fold<\/p>\n\n\n\n C. Sleeve \u2013 cut 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n D. Neckline binding \u2013 cut 1 <\/p>\n\n\n\n This is a beginner project, and you only need some sewing\nskill to make yourself (or your loved one) a nice T-shirt. The garment can be\nmade in just a few steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How much fabric do you need for this piece\nof garment? You may need to check how much fabric you need before buying. It\nwill depend on the selected pattern size, the width, and design of the fabric\nyou plan to use. Just to be sure, print all the paper patterns and lay them out\nat the width of fabric you plan to use (usually from 90 to 150 centimeters or\n35 to 60 inches). Measure how much fabric you will need. Don\u2019t forget to\naccount for pieces that need to be cut multiple times and pieces that are cut\non the fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n How to sew the long\nsleeve T-shirt<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Print and cut out the pattern of chosen size according to\nthe instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Lay fabric flat on the floor or table, place the pattern\npieces on the fabric, pin and cut out each piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. Place front and back piece right side facing, sew the\nshoulder seam and the side seams. Serge the seams (you can skip it if it is a\nstretch fabric that does not fray). If you have an overlocker, you can combine\nthese two steps into just one (I love my overlocker!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. Sew the seam of the sleeves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. Turn the sleeve inside out. Pin to the armhole so that\nthe notches match, and the right sides of fabric pieces face each other. Sew\nthe armhole seam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Iron the neckline binding. Fold it in half (right side\nout). Pin to the right side of the neckline. Sew to finish the neckline\nbinding. Turn the neckline binding in and sew top stitch on the main garment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Hem the T-shirt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n![\"Men's](\"https:\/\/tianascloset.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Mens-crew-neck-long-sleeve-T-shirt-2-1024x709.png\")
