How wonderful to make a gift with your own hands to a loved one, a man! And how pleasant it will be for him to wear a thing sewn by the caring hands of his mother, wife, beloved! This article proposes for consideration patterns of men's sports and raglan T-shirts, as well as some recommendations for their tailoring.

Varieties of men's T-shirts

Every man must have several types of T-shirts in his wardrobe, which he wears depending on the season, event (business meeting, going to the office, date, vacation) and mood.

But there is a certain tacit classification of them:

1. White T-shirt (usually made of cotton fabric) - worn for official, festive occasions or just for a walk on a yacht or around the city with your family.
2. With a V-neck is more often chosen by a man for relaxing, walking near the water, to the beach. Also preferred as a sports T-shirt for men.
3. "Polo" - made of cotton fabric, with a small collar and a few buttons. The favorite of many men, regardless ofactivities and tastes.
4. Hanley. It is also a cotton T-shirt, without a collar, but with a few buttons. Can be worn instead of Polo.
5. "Rugby" is the most favorite part of the wardrobe for many men. It has a collar and a small slit at the neck, but no buttons. As a rule, it is sewn from a very durable fabric that is not at all afraid of repeated washing.

Men's T-shirt pattern

How to sew a men's T-shirt? Next, a model of a simple straight cut will be considered. Measures with this method are the minimum number, which greatly facilitates the task.

Thus, it can be noted that such a cut minimally takes into account the features of the figure of the one for whom this T-shirt is made. It's always best to start simple. And already becoming a more experienced master, you can take on more complex types of cut, which take into account shoulders, posture and so on.

Building a T-shirt back pattern

To accomplish the intended task, it is necessary to take the following measurements:

• half neck - Ssh;
• bust - Сг;
• product height - Di;

Starting to construct a pattern of a men's T-shirt, according to the data obtained, it is necessary to construct a rectangle, the width of which is (AB). In fact, this is the width of the future T-shirt and it consists of a half-girth of the chest plus a small allowance for a loose fitting of the body. The range of increase for a men's T-shirt in the cut we have chosen can vary greatly. In this case, it is enoughstop at 10-12 cm.

And the height of a rectangular blank (AH) will be equal to the measure of the height of the product.

Therefore, the figure shows that AH is the middle of the back of the T-shirt, and BH1 is the middle of the shelf. The top line - AB - is the shoulder level line, and the line below - HH1 - is the bottom line.

Building the line of the chest, the width of the back and armholes

Set aside from the point "A" down a third of the measurement of the semicircle of the chest. Next, add 8 cm to this value. Let's denote this with a dot "G". Now it is necessary to draw a horizontal line from point "G" that will intersect with the front line. This will be point "G1". Thus, the chest line came out.

To the right side of the point "G" horizontally (chest line), it is necessary to set aside one third of the value of the semicircle of the chest and add 6 cm to this indicator. Let's designate the resulting point as "G2". From it, vertically upwards, you need to draw a line, which, when crossing with the shoulder line, gives a point "P".

Now you need to determine the width of the armhole of the product:

• To the right of the point "G2" along the line of the chest, set aside a quarter of the value of the half-girth of the chest. Add 4 cm.
• The new point is called "G3". Distance (D2-D3) is the armhole width.
• Draw a line vertically upwards from the point "G3". The point of its intersection with the shoulder line is "B1".

• The width of the armhole is divided in half. Then the point "G4" is indicated on the pattern.
• From the point "G4" a line is drawn vertically upwards straight to the bottom line. The point of their intersection is designated "H2". This is the side cut line.
• Further from point A to the right along the shoulder line, one third of the value of the semicircle of the neck should be set aside, adding another 1 cm to this value. The resulting point is "A1".
• The line (A-A1) is the width of the sprout.
• Next, a line is drawn vertically upwards from the point "A1", which will be the height of the sprout. And it is equal to half the width of the sprout minus 0.5 cm. The resulting point will be called "A2".
• The line (A1-A2) is the height of the sprout.
• Now you need to construct the throat part of the back. To do this, points "A" and "A2" must be connected with a smooth concave line.
• From the point "P" vertically down, it is necessary to set aside 2 cm and designate the point "P1". Next, draw a segment from the point "A2" through "P1", slightly extending by 1-1.5 cm. It turns out the point "P2".

The pattern for the back of a men's T-shirt is ready.

Building a T-shirt front pattern

The next stage of work on the pattern of a men's T-shirt is the cut of the shelf (front):

• The width of the neck of the shelf corresponds to the width of the neck of the back (sprout). In addition, according to the method under consideration, the height of the front neck is equal to its width.
• From "B"to the left horizontally and down vertically, it is necessary to set aside such a number of centimeters as the line (AA1) is equal to. The resulting points are designated respectively "B2" and "B3".
• So BB2=BB3=AA1.
• Next, it is important to form the line of the neck of the shelf: from the point "B2" to the point "B3". This can be done with a compass.
• Vertically down from the point "B1" it is necessary to set aside 4 cm. The new point is "P4".
• Now from "B2" through "P4" it is necessary to draw a shoulder line, extending it by 1-1.5 cm. The resulting point is "P5".

The construction of the main part of the men's T-shirt front pattern is completed.

Building a pattern for the sleeve of a sports men's T-shirt

First, here you also need to take measurements. One measurement - from the armpit to the shoulder, and the second - from the shoulder and along the arm to the desired length:

• From point "A" to point "B" determine the center - point "C".
• Down from "A" and "B" it is necessary to draw segments equal to a tenth of the OG. New points "E" and "E1" are formed.
• Having connected them, it is necessary to continue to draw lines in different directions for a length equal to AC. Points "F" and "F1" are formed.
• Next, segment BE1 is divided in half, forming a new point "D1". And from "E" up, you need to set aside halfsegment AE plus add 1 cm. The result is point "D".
• Now from "C" down, draw a perpendicular line, the length of which will be equal to the length of the sleeve. The new point is designated with the letter "I".
• From it in different directions it is necessary to postpone FF1 by 2 cm, thereby obtaining "L" and "L1". Now you need to connect them with "F" and "F1".
• Thus, connecting F, D, C, F1, D1 with a solid and smooth line, we get the line of the t-shirt sleeve.
• From "C" downwards, it is necessary to set aside 11 cm on the CF line and mark a double stroke, and then along the CF1 line - also 11 cm and mark a single stroke. These are important marks where the sleeve will be sewn into the armhole of the product.

T-shirt with raglan sleeves

The fabric for her can be either knitted or cotton. In addition, you may need a edging ribbon (for the completed processing of cuts).

What is a raglan shirt? This is when the sleeves of the product are cut together with the shoulder part of the front and back. The neck smoothly passes into the shoulders, in simple terms. Consider building a raglan T-shirt pattern.

There are some general guidelines to start with:

• In order for the fabric to remain elastic in the places where the seams are made, the details of the pattern must be sewn with a narrow zigzag stitch.
• And in order for the bottom edge to remain stretchable, it is necessary to overcast the hem with an overlock. Then stitch using a double needle for this purpose.
• The same applies to finishing the other edges of the product, it is important that they retain their elasticity.

As for the pattern of a men's raglan t-shirt, in some ways it is similar to the pattern of a regular sports t-shirt. The drawings show the contour lines of the back and front, as well as the sleeves.

Measurements are taken the same as for a regular T-shirt: half-girth of the neck, chest, product height and sleeve length, only now taking into account that it will go from the neck.

Raglan is built on the pattern of the front and back halves. From the highest point of the shoulder along the neck line, set aside 4 centimeters. And now you need to combine these points with the highest point of the side seam. Separate the raglan details and transfer them to the sides of the sleeve corresponding to them.

When all this is done, be sure to remove the raglan details from the front and back of the pattern.

All details must be signed so that nothing is mixed up when sewing a T-shirt.
