This tutorial will demonstrate how to make your own sewing pattern using a t-shirt you already own, and then how to use this pattern to make a simple & comfy tee from knit fabric. Ideal for beginners!

The design is a basic, slightly 'slouchy' style top with 1/2 length sleeves and additional cuffs and waistband.

I hope you enjoy this project :)
