- For body length and sleeve length, approximate sewing allowance should be needed at body hem, shoulder joint, sleeve hem, and armhole joint.
- For chest width, an approximate sewing allowance (3cm) should be needed at both side seams,depends on garment style.
- And approximate fabric wastage in various stages is 10%.
Disclaimer: For bulk production, I would not suggest you use this calculator as there are many variables to get the actual fabric yield per t-shirt. For bulk production, use CAD-based consumption or take help from the pattern master.
