10 Free T-shirt Sewing Patterns for Women

This blog post is a curated collection of my top 10 free t-shirt sewing patterns. It has a great variety of styles, so I’m positive you’ll find a silhouette that you really like. It even features a tee pattern with different cup sizes (🙋‍♀️), which is fantastic for people with larger busts.

I absolutely love sewing tees because they are such quick sewing project. However, I recently watched a video where a sewing YouTuber mentioned she doesn’t enjoy making t-shirts because they never turn out with that store-bought quality she’s looking for. While that’s totally fair, here are 10 amazing free patterns that you can test to find a TNT pattern you will keep going to again and again.
