How To - T-shirt + Sleeves
Here we go, another tutorial!
I hope youâll find it interesting ^^
Itâs a double tutorials, how to sew a sleeve + how to sew a T-shirt!
Letâs start!
What do you need:
†A sewing machine
†Iron
†Scissor
†The pieces of your T-shirt
Trick: For the neckline, use a piece of fabric cut in bias. Is the only way to make a clear shape on a roundness ;>!Â
First, letâs prepare all the pieces!Â
Usually I start with the hem of the sleeves and the neckline.
Trick #2: Use a stretch stitch for the hem, like the zig-zag stitch ;>!
For the neckline, take the bias you prepared and iron it in half
And then iron it again, and give it the shape of a smile!
Now letâs start sewing!
Sew a shoulder and iron the sew allowances
Take the bias and pin it and sew it! If you need, baste it to help you sew.
Reduce the seam allowance if is more than 5mm, or your neckline can have some difficult to take the right shape!
I usually backstitch the neckline, so the seam allowances doenât go where they want!
Trick #3: I use a stretch stitch to sew the neckline, and the backstitch of the neckline!Â
Now sew the other shoulder. Be careful that the neckline and the backstitch coincide from both side!
Iron it, so the neckline takes the right shape!
Fold in half your sleeves for finding the shoulders point.Â
Mark it with a pin or folding with your nails.
Then pin it on the shoulder, then pin the two ends.
Now pin the space between the shoulder and the end sharing the fabric of the sleeve. Be careful to not create pleats in the process!
Sew it!
I usually donât baste the sleeves of the T-Shirt in big size, but for other thing made in non-elastic fabrics I baste it, because it can be very difficult to move right the fabrics and the risk to create pleats are very high XD!
After sewing both sleeves, check that there isnât any pleats.
Now weâre almost done!
We need only 3 more stitching!Â
Fold your work, and sew the under sleeves + the flanks.
Clean your work and sew the hem with a stretch stitch.
Use your friend iron, remember to iron very well the seams allowances od the sleeves so the T-shirt would look right andâŠâŠ..
