Sew the Easiest T-shirt Ever!
Sewing knits can be tricky, and nobody likes sewing neck bindings. But this super simple tutorial will help even beginners sew their very own me-made T-shirts in just 15 minutes or so!
So simple, so cool for hot summer days!
Here's what you need:
- 1.5 meters/yards of jersey or interlock fabric (preferably with the wrong side the same color as the right side)
- a T-shirt that fits you correctly to use as a guide
- polyester thread matching the fabric
- a ballpoint or stretch sewing machine needle for knits
- safety pins
- ballpoint pins for knits
- tailor’s chalk or other temporary marking tool
- fabric shears or other cutting tools
Watch this video for the full details on how to position the original T-shirt on the jersey fabric and how to trace around it, and how to correctly cut out the neck opening.
