Free Shirt Patterns

This pattern-free project uses squares of fabric and minimal sewing experience to create a sweet summer top.

This Afternoon Tea Top is a variation of another pattern offered at BurdaStyle. Site also includes a detailed how-to for the pleated ruffle at the top.

This knit top by knitty.com works both as a stylish top and a nursing bra. It has adjustable straps on the back and the cups are sized separately from the body of the shirt for the perfect fit.

This is a simple tank top that has two peaks at the front ans wide straps that curve around your shoulders.

Okay, so these patterns are free, but I have yet to find free fabric! Well, there is something close to it.

Fabric.com is one of my favorite places to score dress fabric because you can get a lot of it at a cheap price. The site has oodles of info about the fabrics, with lots of patterns and types to choose from.

I highly recommend scoring your fabric for cheap, especially since shipping is free on all orders over $35.00.

Since you can't help accumulating tee's, turn them into something that actually looks good on you. Learn to make a tank top, halter top, and even accessories like fingerless gloves and hats out of old t-shirts.

The is a super easy retro top designed by zahra at Burdastyle.com. The wide collar with contrasting border and the cut of the sleeves make this one a delightful throw-back to the 50's.

For this amazing summer top, all you need is a triangle of fabric. Super easy and the results are impressive.
