Baby T-shirt Basic Pattern Calculator

Baby T-shirt pattern

Age group for the pattern 0-2 years old (56-92cm).
The baby T-shirt block allows you to create any designs you want: vintage baby T-shirt patterns, baby boys T-shirt patterns, baby girls T-shirt patterns.
Fabric recommendations: the first option when you want to make a baby T-shirt is cotton jersey knit - the first consideration when selecting the fabric for your baby clothes is that it is soft and non-irritating, especially for them because it should be comfortable against the cut umbilical cord. Generally,  when you choose fabrics for baby garments, the following points should be taken into consideration: they should be soft, non-allergenic, breathable and absorbent and last but not least, should withstand many rounds of washing and the wear and tear from play and tumble.
Other fabrics recommendation are: Bamboo, which is famous for his thermal-regulating and anti-bacterial properties, Cotton/Polyesterblends (poly-cotton), Cotton/Spandex blends and Fleece. I recommend using fabrics which have in his composition a lot of artificial fibers like Fleece or Polyester for making winter baby T-shirt (these go over other clothing and don't come into contact with the skin.
