Such good tips! I have added lace to neck line before. It is not very easy to sew it even and flat. After watching this video, I implemented tip 2- pin tuck sew to a Tshirt I just bought. It fits nicely except the neck line a little too low. It took me 5 min, measuring, marking, sewing. And wow! The neckline got lifted, but maintains its shape. It looks so nice and interesting..... Thank you, Catherine. This will be my go-to tool for fixing low necklines.....

These are great techniques that I have used also. Two that I also do is the take up the shoulders seams. It brings the neckline up without too much effort and I will also pinch the neckline in the back and take it up as a pleat...then flatten it out and stitch it down... it makes a different look to the garment and solves the problem. Thanks for sharing.

My tiny tweek for a gaping neckline is to use crochet cotton & run it through the ribbing without catching any fabric & just tighten up the neck just a bit, not enough to gather the ribbing. I go all around the neckline & then come out where I went in, usually at a shoulder seam for round or scoop neckline or from the center front point for a V-neck. I loop the thread around the inside seam a few times but leave the exit thread loose. That way I can tighten or loosen as needed when I try it on & then I can loop it around the inside seam & tie off. It holds snug without stretching out of shape. So many necklines flop over on items made overseas & I do this rather than removing & restitching the ribbing. It looks nicer & it doesn't destroy the fabric as can happen.

Being petite, I alter a lot of my clothes. One easy fix, if its just alittle too big, is to do it at the shoulders. When you turn tour garment inside out you'll see that most are sewn at a slant going upward to the neck; start at the shoulder sleeve seam and gradually sewing towards the neck, straighten it out, goodness its harder to explain than I realized! Works though.

@@CatherineSews I think I know what MJay was saying, if you turn the t-shirt inside out, and lay it flat, often the shoulder seam will slant up from the sleeve seam to the neck band. If you sew the shoulder seam flatter, it would shorten up the neckline a bit. which would raise the length and make the neckline smaller.

Thanks for taking one for the team! LOL I just did one another weird way. I turned the shirt inside out and took the shoulder seam in at the top and just kept going down onto the sleeve and tapered it so it wasn't taken in as much on the sleeve. I ended up with a seam on the sleeve, but it looked ok. I did it on a shirt that was just too big everywhere and also took in the sides.

I've learned to purchase the best machine you can afford after reading reviews. Look also at YT demos for 2-3 machines you're considering. I've had a no-brand, cheaper machine 2x in my life, and my husband could fuss them into working, but I'm not mechanical and found them too fiddly. A huge part of machine sewing in threading the bobbin and machine. You want something quick and reliable. So watch for that in reviews.

I've had a few dresses whose necklines were just too big all the way around. In one, darts at the shoulder seam brought the front up so I wasn't flashing the world. In another, darts in the back on either side of the neck closed the hole enough so it couldn't roll forward (where the shoulder seams wind up on the front instead of the top of the shoulder).

HI Catherine, thanks for another fantastic video.

HOpe I have explained correctly :)

Another method I have used is to thread a wide eyed needle with thin elastic and run it inside the seam allowance. Thanks for sharing your methods.

Great tips. Thanks. I usually have more trouble with pants being too large in the waist but not enough room in the thighs.

Hi Reba, sorry about that odd comment from DO. He's been popping up a lot on my channel, so I'm blocking him. I'm glad you told him what's what!

Thank you... having gone down from a size 18 to a childs size 14, I can still use my tops except the neckline is too big... this will help. ... the top will now be a baggy look but still ok to wear with a smaller neckline ... I will try the first and last options ...

I have one more for you. I use stretch elastic thread double it and using a darning needle put it in the casing at the seam, thread it threw to the seam again and tie the ends together the size you want it to be.
