  • Take a crew neck t-shirt and alter it into a v-neck style. The good news is you can use the existing neckband.

    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!

    This is so fabulous! Not only is it easy to understand and implement but is looks finished and not like a "homemade" alteration. Thank you so much!

  • @lindagravelle-belisle7000

    Wow! Thank you so very much for this tip. I am not a fan of crew neck t-shirts, but in the past year I bought one to encourage an amazing band called "Double Experience". With the help of your very clear and precise instructions I just altered my t-shirt in under 10 minutes! Guess what I'll be wearing today? Ha, ha. I will be sharing your video with my family and friends. Thanks again.

    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!

  • @lindastaiti245
    @lindastaiti245 Před rokem +5

    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.

    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 :)

  • @MichellesHandmadeCreations
    @MichellesHandmadeCreations Před 6 měsíci +1

    I've watched this technique demonstrated once before. I really appreciate your demonstration, because you were much more detailed with your explanation. This technique of converting a crew neckline into a V-neckline is so much or polished than just stretching the band without cutting it. Thanks for sharing!

  • @Misorganic1
    @Misorganic1 Před 2 lety +2

    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.

    @cinderkenner823 Před 15 dny

    I love this technique. I buy bright t-shirts when they are on sale and turn them all into v-necks. This is my summer wardrobe! I also turn up the sleeves to cuff and stitch in place. People can't believe I do this myself. Classy!

    Thank You so much for a great video! Loved how you used a light colored shirt. I purchased 4 mens size Medium sweatshirts because I like longer sleeves and longer length shirts but the neckline is so tight. Can't imagine a guy getting these over the head let alone be comfortable. The opening measures 13 inches! Looking forward to making these into a V-Neck!

  • @by_katrin
    @by_katrin Před 2 lety +2

    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 ♥

    @TheCynedd Před 3 lety +28

    This is a great tutorial. My mom and I were just discussing this topic (i.e. Crew to V) and she thought this was more clear than any other tutorial she had watched. I tried this technique on an old shirt and it works very well. I did, however, finish the neckband with my coverstitch machine.

  • @wndrteach
    @wndrteach Před rokem

    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. Thank you for sharing this!

    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.

    • @RannPatterson
      @RannPatterson Před 28 dny

      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!

  • @VeganDoris
    @VeganDoris Před 3 lety +4

    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.
