Ryan is the ultimate T-shirt. This gender-neutral design has two versions with mix-and-match details, so you can sew a tee that best suits your style.
Version 1 has short sleeves and a V-neckline, and version 2 has long sleeves and a crewneck. An optional chest pocket is a handy detail for both versions. Sew the tee that best represents you!
Jule is wearing a size 0 blended to a 2 at the hips, with the short sleeves lengthened 1/2" and the long sleeves lengthened 1". Her measurements are 32 1/2”, 27”, 37”, and she is 5'7" tall.
Eric is wearing a size 8 Ryan tee. His measurements are 37”, 29”, 28”, and he is 5’9” tall.
This fabric is Cotton Spandex French Terry from Bolt.
This fabric is Organic Bamboo Cotton Jersey from Bolt.
Fabrics to shop: This shirt doesn’t require 4-way stretch, which gives you more options. Look for medium-weight knit fabrics with at least 25% of 2-way stretch, such as cotton jersey, bamboo or soy jersey blends, rib knit, and interlock knit. Fabrics that do have 4-way stretch or contain some rayon will have more drape than fabrics with 2-way stretch.
Fabrics to avoid: Nearly any knit will work for this tee, so just avoid wovens.
Fit: This tee has a classic fit that is more straight than fitted. Pay most attention to your shoulders and chest measurement when selecting a size.
