A women's t-shirt sewing pattern PDF in EU sizes 36–46 — semi-fitted silhouette that follows the body's lines without pressure. Shoulder placement, armhole shape, and side curves are each specifically calculated — the decisions behind a T-shirt that looks expensive rather than just comfortable. Bias-bound back neck seam for a refined interior finish.

We created this T-shirt for those who find oversized shapeless and fitted uncomfortable. The semi-fitted silhouette occupies the space between: it follows the body's structure without pressure, with enough ease to feel like a foundation rather than a constraint.

The construction is driven by precision in the three details that determine how a T-shirt wears: shoulder seam placement, armhole curve, and side seam taper. Get these right, and the garment looks intentional. The back neck seam is finished with bias binding — a small detail that defines the quality of the finished piece from the inside.

What makes this pattern worth making:

The Right Fit: Semi-fitted without being tight. The ease is calibrated for a composed, modern look — a foundation, not a fashion statement.
Precision Construction: Shoulder placement, armhole shape, and side curves are each specifically designed. The finished garment reflects that precision in the way it sits.
A Premium Interior: The back neck seam is finished with bias binding. A T-shirt that looks considered from every angle.

For this model, the stability of the fabric combined with softness is essential:

Cotton Jersey with Elastane: (Penye or Compact-Penye quality) for shape retention and comfort.
Mid-weight Jersey: For a more structural and polished look.
Silky Texture Cotton: To achieve the effect of a premium-grade garment.
