I learned to sew from my mom who was a dress designer. She never taught me this. 😆 ...... She and I are going to have words..... 😂🤣 I love V-necks as the regular ones always make me feel like I'm choking. I alter most of my T's to fit in the body, but never attempted the collar. Thanks for the how-to.

I did it! I used a neck band from another T-shirt, because this one had a decorative neckline that I had to cut off. I watched and re-watched your tutorial… And I was successful! Thank you so much!

Literally came out 10000 times better than what I had imagined it was going to turn out! Thank you so much seriously! It was perfect! Just maybe add like 3 seconds after you explain and show the next step so I can stop and press pause as I follow lol. Thank you so much I am very satisfied with my new v neck :)

Awesome tutorial! I have never worn t-shirts as I am 5’3”. 118 lbs. and I always feel “frumpy” in them. However, at a cute boutique in town I found an adorable tee in women’s sizing and loved it except for the round t-shirt neckline. I converted it following your excellent video. It looks great! Thank you!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for this video. I hate crew neck t-shirt for females and now I can transform them into v-necks without having to seek out a tailor to perform this task. Keep up the great videos. I'll be back to view more.

Thanks for this video. I altered a crew neck tee shirt today and I now have a V-neck, which is more flattering on me. I practiced on an old shirt - it's not perfect, a little puckery - but the steam iron smoothed it out. I see now why you suggested not stitching all the way over to the point of the "V" on both sides. I think I've got the hang of it now and will do better on the next one. Thank you again.

This is one of the best videos I've seen on how to redo it a t-shirt. The first person I watched I ended up cutting the front and the back of my shirt. And I also cut off the entire crew neck because she didn't tell me when to stop she just said remove it didn't say remove the first part of it and she didn't tell me to be careful not to cut the back of the shirt needless to say I put a lot of work into that I even tried to continue sewing it to see if it would work it was a mess. I've continued to subscribe to your channel and thank you

I basically can't wear anything but a v neck due to sensory issues. This concept is super great and I'm very excited about it, however the smaller V made out of the crew neck hem isn't going to be big enough. For the life of me I can't figure out where to buy the new neck hem and can't find the other video you're talking about.

Just a suggestion for anyone else having this problem- use the matching one for the front, and maybe you have another tee you could use for the back. Same color or mixed, it might look super cool!

So I thought I would try this out first and then make a comment. I'm a beginner and what can I say? It worked! You explained it very well. I must admit that I ended up with a pucker (maybe I can fix that..) and it was very wobbly, but that is because I meant it too good and altered it too much for my shirt ;-) That's the experience I guess. Thanks anyway, great video! xo from Switzerland ♥

Pinned! Thank you! And I just realized that if you want a deeper v neckline, you could remove all of the rib knit trim including the back, and use it on the front of the shirt. Then you could get a store-bought rib knit trim, which probably won’t match exactly, for the back of the neck line.

Thank you so much for making this video! I'm always bothered by the crew neck being too tight or too high when I want to buy a concert t-shirt... this is a great way to give myself a little breathing room without have to buy extra material and try to color-match a neck band. I'll be hand-sewing everything, but it was really easy to follow along! Since you're using a machine, I assume by "backstitch the ends," you mean to reinforce the stitch and tie it off it away from the edge (although I will be using an actual backstitch for the sewing)?
@curtriceennis2924
@curtriceennis2924 2 жыл бұрын
Backstitching is a reinforcing stitch on a machine. It more or less goes over your first few and last stitches, making them more difficult to ever pull out on their own. Hope this helps. 😉
@NYCisland
@NYCisland Жыл бұрын
Backstitching is nearly always done at the start and at the end of sewing a seam (sewing two pieces together). You go forward 2-4 stitches then sew in reverse over what you just sewed. Many machines have a backstitch button (reverse button). Doing this locks in the sewing thread so it doesn't unravel.

Wonderful video! I would finish it off by doing a top stich that would meet up with the original stiching that is now on the back neck. If the tread is slightly different in color from the original, I would probably stich over the original stiching to make it blend and to further secure the original stiching at the end points.

I’m kind of confused. You sewed the one strip down on the first side of the T-shirt stopping before the V and then you stretched it across to the left side of the of the V. Then sewed and flipped it, I just don’t understand how that worked because when you see the T-shirt from the correct side, the strip is only down one side of the V But I was sure you took that first strip and went to the left side of the V. it doesn’t look like it extended past the V like you told us to sew it.

At 2:08 she stops sewing and skips about an inch of neckband. Then at 2:16 she sewed the stubby end of the left side of the neckband to the right of the v she cut into the t-shirt. Then she went back and sewed the 1 inch of neck band that she skipped to the left side of the v.
