Step 1

Measurements

T-shirt measurements

Choose a T-shirt preset and enter the measurements used to draft the front, back, sleeve, and neckband.

Important fit note

Patterns generated by Nastix Patterns are calculated base drafts created from your measurements and selected settings.

We strongly recommend checking the 5 x 5 cm test square, making a test version, and verifying fit before cutting final fabric.

Knit stretch, fabric recovery, body shape, and preferred fit can change the result and may require manual adjustments.

Measurement tips
Main measurement diagram for the T-shirt chest hem length sleeve

Chest

Measure around the fullest part of the chest or bust. Keep the tape level and do not add ease manually.

Hips and hem

Use the fullest hip or the hem level where the T-shirt should finish. Hem ease controls the lower width.

Body length

Measure from the high shoulder point near the neck to the desired hem.

Shoulder and sleeve

Shoulder width, armhole depth, bicep, and sleeve length control the sleeve shape and movement.

Neckband

The neckband is estimated for rib knit. Check stretch recovery and adjust the length after testing in fabric.

Ease and fabric

This draft is intended for knit fabrics. Fabric stretch, recovery, and preferred fit may require manual changes.
