Long Sleeve TShirt

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
Sewing With Knits: 5 Wardrobe Essentials »

Instructions

Yes, I added 4 strips of jersey, about 1.5inches wide around the collar front. I sewed them right down the center, washed and dried to get the look. And Voila! A new take on a basic tshirt. Also, I left the sleeves and bottom with a raw edge to match the neckline. My Mom saw it and loved it, so I gave it to her and promptly made myself another!

Difficulty:

Category: Sewing

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Whimsical, Casual, Cute, Romantic


Materials

Cotton Slub Jersey, 100% recycled polyester thread by Guittermann, Machine and Serger with a walking foot.
