Altr House
Custom T-shirt Sewing Pattern Made to Your Measurements
ALTR HOUSE generates a custom T-shirt sewing pattern from your own body measurements instead of a standard size. Enter your measurements, choose the sleeve, neckline, length, and fit, then download a sew-ready custom-fit T-shirt sewing pattern in US Letter, A4, A0, or SVG.
Custom Fit T-shirt Pattern
Why Choose a Custom T-Shirt Sewing Pattern?
A standard-size tee often pulls across the bust, gaps at the neck, or lands at the wrong length. A custom tee sewing pattern starts with your measurements, so the sleeve, shoulder, and body are generated around you instead of the closest size on a chart.
Because it is built on bust, waist, and hip, it also works as a women's T-shirt sewing pattern that fits your proportions rather than a size row.
Sleeve and arm
Arm length and bicep are part of the measurement set, so the sleeve is not an afterthought you have to redraft.
Length you choose
Choose cropped or full length in the T-shirt base before the file is generated.
Saved fit
Save the measurements in Design Studio and regenerate when you want another version of the same pattern.
Side by side
Standard-Size Pattern vs Custom T-shirt Pattern
| Standard pattern | ALTR HOUSE custom pattern | |
|---|---|---|
| Sizing | Graded sizes | Your measurements |
| Adjustments | Often length, bust, and sleeve changes | Minimal, because the file starts from what you entered |
| Re-sizing | Buy or trace again | Regenerate anytime from saved measurements |

What to measure
Measurements You'll Need For a Custom Tee Sewing Pattern
These are the fields the T-shirt base uses in Design Studio. Follow the on-screen guide in the generator while you measure.
- Bust Around the fullest part of the bust, tape level.
- Waist Around the natural waist, not over the hip bones.
- Hip Around the fullest part of the hip.
- Shoulder Across the back from shoulder point to shoulder point.
- Shoulder to waist From the shoulder point down to the natural waist.
- Shoulder to hip From the shoulder point down to the hip.
- Collar Around the base of the neck where a neckline sits.
- Bicep Around the fullest part of the upper arm.
- Arm From the shoulder point along the arm to the wrist.
- Tee length From the shoulder to the hem length you want.
- Bicep body The extra upper-arm measurement the generator labels Bicep body. Use the guide shown next to that field.

Best fabric for a T-shirt
Best Fabric For a Knit T-shirt Sewing Pattern PDF
This base is for a knit T-shirt. A stable jersey or rib knit with comfortable stretch and good recovery is a practical place to start. Very drapey or very rigid knits will change how the same pattern feels once it is sewn.
If you are new to knits, sew a test from a similar fabric before you cut the one you love. Stretch percentage is not a single number that fits every tee: check how the knit stretches and returns, then use the generator measurement guide rather than forcing a woven pattern onto a knit.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a T-shirt sewing pattern from measurements instead of a size?
Yes. The T-shirt base generates the pattern from the measurements you enter, not from a standard size row. Choose the available style options, then download the file. You can save those measurements in Design Studio and reuse them the next time you generate.
How do I make a T-shirt pattern from my measurements, step by step?
Enter your bust, waist, hip, shoulder, shoulder to waist, shoulder to hip, collar, bicep, arm, tee length, and bicep body. Measure with a flexible tape and follow the guide next to each field so the labels match what you enter. Then pick your length, sleeve, neckline, and fit, and generate the file.
Is this a knit T-shirt sewing pattern PDF?
It is built for knit fabric, and you can download it as US Letter or A4 for home printing, A0 for a copy shop, or SVG. A stable jersey or rib knit with stretch that recovers is a reliable choice. Very slippery or very stiff knits will change the fit, so test a similar fabric before you cut your final yardage.
Is this a T-shirt sewing pattern for beginners?
Yes, if you are comfortable sewing a knit. You do not draft the block yourself. You enter measurements, pick the options in the base, and sew from the downloaded file. A test garment is still a good idea the first time.
Can I use a projector T-shirt sewing pattern instead of printing?
Yes. Download the SVG for a projector or digital cutting setup, or print US Letter, A4, or A0 instead. The projector page is at /pages/projector.
Can I change the length after generating?
Length is chosen before generation: cropped or full length. If your plan still includes a style swap or measurement changes, you can generate again with the other length instead of redrawing the pattern by hand.
Can I try it for free?
Yes. The 7-day free trial does not ask for a credit card. You can open the live generator, choose the T-shirt base, and create a pattern during the trial. Paid options are $9 for one pattern, $19 for three, or a membership.
