In this lesson, I taught about three different t-shirt shapes: a basic conventional style, a slightly modified version, and a more unconventional design. I demonstrated how small changes in sleeve length, bottom hem, and side seams can create distinct looks. I also introduced the concept of using different colors for the front and back in the unconventional design.

Lesson Steps:

  • Explain the three t-shirt designs: basic (black), modified (red), and unconventional (green)
  • Discuss the differences in sleeve shapes, bottom hems, and side seams for each design
  • Demonstrate how to shift the center and create asymmetry in the unconventional design
  • Provide instructions for cutting fabric according to each design
  • Explain the fold placement for each t-shirt style
  • Share measurements for the unconventional design (green) for a size 6
  • Discuss how to adjust measurements for different body sizes
  • Explain how to determine the appropriate width for the bottom of the t-shirt
