Cal Patch is very easy to follow. I have purchased big 3 patterns until now and her way of explaining gives me confidence to draft my own.

There was no ease added to this T shirt pattern construction. I assume then the fabric needs to have at least 5% spandex. Is it necessary to add more ease to a 100% cotton jersey knit which has less stretch?
Thank you.
