  • I love to copy my clothes to create patterns and when I find a favorite t-shirt that fits great I immediately copy it and create a pattern so I can remake the t-shirt as many times as I want.
    MY ONLINE SEWING SCHOOL: sewitacademy.com
    This was a request from a viewer so I also showed you how to sew it together!

    For those watching, it should be mentioned that after you take the measurement for the neckband, multiply it by 0.85 (which is 85%) to get the new measurement. If you use the regular measurement the neckline will still out, fold over and refuse to stay flat. Stretch fabrics have a mind of their own when I first started copying clothes I couldn't, for the life of me, figure out how to do the neckband.

      Emily W what stitch do you use. I assumed straight stitch would no longer let the neck stretch as it goes over your head. Thanks for the 0.85 tip!

      Sara mcCracken A very narrow zigzag stitch will stretch, but will not be too wide (as would the width we think of when we typically consider a zigzag stitch) to prevent the seams from functioning as they would if a traditional straight lock stitch were used.

    Keep on your fantastic work.

    In a crunch, I've recycled shipping cellophane bags, clean bags from boxed cereal or unused left over painter's vinyl plastic floor covering. Because they are clear sturdy products, they can be used to trace commercial patterns to preserve all its sizes as well as a reusable pattern that does not tear easily. Be careful - wet Sharpie ruler marks & lines smudge, give it a second to dry or lift up ruler - do not swish ruler across ink in preventing drag marks ...

    Fantastic tutorial, thank you! I'd like to have seen the final t-shirt though. And perhaps someone wearing it.
    P.S. at the minute mark around 9:43 when you sweep the excess paper away, I cringed because you didn't close your rotary cutter and I visualized something I've done before...while sweeping something away I brushed the rotary cutter and sliced my hand open. It was pretty severe because I had a new blade in, and it taught me to always close the blade before I lay it down. Even if I'm getting ready to pick it back up to use, always close the blade. Anyhow, just wanted to say what a great teacher you are, and thank you!!

    You make it look so simple. The shirts I have to buy, being a large woman, are expensive. Maybe I can do this. I have a sewing machine that I usually sew crafty things and quilts.
    Thanks for sharing.
