Well designed patternI have been searching for a well designed t-shirt pattern for a while and here it is. Pieces fits well together when sewing. My personal opinion is that the sizes may be a little smaller than expected and I would be thrilled to see a couple of larger sizes added to the pattern as this is the best t-shirt pattern out there :-)4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Excellent patternThis is a really great pattern. I've made it twice already, and also bought the version for men and made two for my husband as well. I prefer the slightly wider neckband that comes with the men's version so I'll use that on mine for the next one.4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Metro T-shirtGood pattern. I loved the neckline. Overall the fit was good but I think I will adjust the sleeve width on the next one. I made the sleeves 3/4 length as that is my preferred sleeve length.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Good PatternThis is a very quick project, and you don't need much fabric, which was nice. I made it a slightly differently---I topstitched the neck line and made it with half-length sleeves. I actually wanted to make it 3/4 length sleeves, but I just did not have enough fabric. I also add a little more (1/2 instead of 1/4") seam allowance on my side seams because it looked a bit larger than my well-fitting t-shirts. I usually wear xs for my store bought tops. and xs (with slight adjustments) fits me well. It is fitted around my chest and it has more ease around my waist, which works well for me. I've been sewing my t-shirts from self-drafted pattern, but this is certainly a step-up from those.3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Metro TshirtI loved this pattern. The medium fits me well. I have narrow shoulders and bigger hips so I added length to then bottom. The fabric I used was french Terry and a bit clingy but I am very pleased with the outcome4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?easy to make and a wonderful fitting resultThis year I decided that I was going to try sewing with knit fabrics. This pattern is one that I decided to try out, to make a t-shirt out of a cotton/spandex jersey for St Patricks day.
I downloaded the digital pattern (something I had not done before) and found it very easy to assemble. The instructions were very easy to follow and very thorough, and it resulted in a wonderfully well fitting t shirt. I love it and am going to be making it again soon!
The shoulders fit me well, I like the neckline, and I also like how its not too tight fitting in the midsection area. I would say it has a slim fit without being overly tight. Very modern...
I plan to make more of these in the near future, and would absolutely love to see some updates on the blog for different design ideas with this pattern. Thank you!7 of 7 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Comfort freak finds style :)I had to make several "experiments" with the pattern, finally settling on a deeper neckline (so I wouldn't feel "choked") and going up a size in the hem area to accommodate my wide hips. I wasn't sure I would be able to manage even these simple changes, but the third time's the charm. My new t-shirt fits perfectly and looks great, if I do say so myself. I bought the men's pattern, too. :)4 of 4 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Made To FitI love this pattern. I have used for my 5 granddaughters ranging from size xs to lg, short to tall. They love how it fits. This will be a staple in their closet & will be used many times over.3 of 3 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?So easyThis was my first time using knits and it was so easy. I don't think I will a T-shirt again!!!2 of 2 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Great Pattern!I love this basic knit t-shirt pattern. I would love to see alternative neck lines like scoop and v-neck. I'm sure I can figure it out on my own but would love the option.5 of 5 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Sewing the Metro T-ShirtThis pattern was very easy to follow and instructions very clear and accurate. I love my t-shirt. I've worn it several times already.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?The Best T I've sewnThis pattern will change your "sewing with knits life. I promise. I've made it twice and have 4 other shirts planned. If you don't own a serger, don't let that stand in your way. I prefer the double needle method on my straight stitch machine. Sometimes a serged seam on knits can get scratchy. I have a serger and love it but so glad I've explored the double needle method. I am a very experienced sewer and now have found new challenges with all the great knits and patterns for knits on the market!12 of 12 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Perfect for Pj's tooI made this top as part of a Pj set and it was really quick and easy.1 of 1 customers found this helpful.Was this helpful?Very detailed instructionsThis is a very versatile pattern and the fit is good.
