    I've been sewing for over 30years and I love the way the new generation isn't afraid to "break the rules" in sewing. I will definitely be trying this out. Thanks for posting.

  • @aeonfluxcapacitor77
    @aeonfluxcapacitor77 5 років тому +28

    So even though this is 8 years old, you won the awesome sauce award for today! I can't wait to fix all the shirts I love but refuses to wear because they are crew.

  • @hilaryjordan7761
    @hilaryjordan7761 9 років тому +244

    I bought a bunch of t-shirts from a resale shop but they are all crew neck. Crew neck shirts make me feel like I am choking. I was so happy I found your wonderful video. I will be fixing my shirts this afternoon! Thanks!!!!

  • @barbaraness4507
    @barbaraness4507 3 роки тому +4

    As long as I’ve been sewing, and making my own patterns I should’ve thought of this on my own. Lol
    Sometimes I think UA-cam is making my brain lazy. I do appreciate you sharing this method! Thanks!

  • @withwendy
    @withwendy  12 років тому +6

    Yeah! Usually I go to a fabric store that carries knits and ask if they have the kind that is already into tubes, it's similar to the ribbed fabric used for tank tops and waistbands.

  • @erict7093
    @erict7093 8 років тому +3

    This is GENUS!!! this is stuff you don't learn in fashion school haha. I love this. its soo easy! this takes the fear out of working with knits. thanks! love this.!

  • @wendiwendi7134
    @wendiwendi7134 8 років тому +25

    Thank you so much! I really struggle with the bottom of the "V", I can do it and it look fabulous! If you ever re-do the video maybe you could use contrasting colors, I struggle seeing the exact steps but, Whoohoo! Success! Thank you truly!

  • @AnnieAtRecess
    @AnnieAtRecess 8 років тому +1

    I just did a test run on one of my husband's old crew neck tees which he only wears around the house, and I'm really pleased with the result. Although I typically buy a deeper vee in RTW, this will be perfectly modest for a group tee I'm wearing for a church event.

    • @wendyhannan2454
      @wendyhannan2454 Рік тому

      Great idea, I’ll practice on one of my tee shirt that no longer fits. I did struggle with the black shirt Wendy was working on, a lighter colour may of helped. However I now know how to do a v neck, thanks to Wendy. I find a V neck more comfortable to wear.

  • @snip-sniptear956
    @snip-sniptear956 7 років тому +1

    I just finished re-modeling my crew neck long-sleeve shirt to appear as a v-neck. I have to say, your tutorial made me find other ways to overlap the ends of the collar. I liked it!! came out great for a first-time!

  • @ramnicki
    @ramnicki 6 років тому

    10,000 thank yous!! I not only am fixing all my concert tees, but I lowered a neckline for my 95 year old mom, and we're both thrilled with the results! Keep posting your videos, please!

  • @bobjolly7795
    @bobjolly7795 3 роки тому +2

    You did a great job with the instructions. I have so many T-shirt’s that I would wear if they were v-neck so thank you so much for showing us.

    An oldie but a goody! You haven't changed in making clear and fun videos that are easy to follow. I'm glad I found this to transform one of my shirts.

  • @CallMeAlice818
    @CallMeAlice818 7 років тому

    Almost a whole six years after the video is posted, but I wanted to say Thank You! All of the shirts we get at work are crew neck, so I'd spend pretty much the entire day tugging the collar down. I practiced on two t-shirts first before modifying my work shirts and it helps so much! One coworker asked if I had the emblem printed on a v-neck. Her reaction when I told her I did it myself was priceless!
    So, thanks ^_^

  • @LottieSue
    @LottieSue 10 років тому +3

      Awesome job, I hate the rounded necks and have a closet of t-shirts I buy to support various school functions and never wear...new project :-)

  • @azulchromis4569
    @azulchromis4569 9 років тому

    Thank you for posting this video. Yours certainly looks like it's the most professional conversion out there. As I sit here with my sewing machine trying to do this, I've noticed that you skip out on exactly how you pin the tip of the V. I really would have appreciated your showing how you pinned that part and explaining the pinning and the sewing of the V a bit more step-by-step, since this is the reason why your V-neck looks so great. Thanks!

  • @Kwantifye
    @Kwantifye 9 років тому +6

    Really great tutorial. I bought a t-shirt at a concert, but the one I wanted wasn't available anymore in S so I had to take M... Therfore I sew it tighter and made the round collar to a v.neck with the help of your video. I'm just beginning to saw, but this video made it easy for me to complete this project. Thanks! :*

    Finding this is going to help me SO much in a few day. Give me straight sturdy broadcloth or even silky sari fabric and I'm happy as can be. Stretch Jersey and I get all flummoxed and out of sorts. This handle my need so perfectly as I work as making as much on my winter wardrobe as possible and I seemed to be haunted with crew neckline patterns. Which..... no. If my choice is crew or nothing, I'll just find my good bra or heavyweight bodice! Thanks so very much for making things so completely clear and simple to imitate.

  • @heathercortes9567
    @heathercortes9567 5 років тому

    Thanks. I've been too lazy to do this before. You may want to do contrasting colors for the sewing noobs though. I know you're actually wearing these shirts though. As long as your inside stitches are small you shouldn't see them unless the ribbing flips out. I can use you as an example for my daughter. She's not thrilled to be getting sewing lessons this year. She's ten but I can tell she'll be six feet tall like me. They don't make a lot of clothes for us out there that actually fit. This is an easy beginner lesson for her.

  • @mischa2643
    @mischa2643 7 років тому

    I had a thyroidectomy and neck dissection (thyroid cancer), and the scars can sometimes make wearing normal crewnecks pretty uncomfortable. This is tuto is a lifesaver! I have cut the 'V' too deep once or twice, but I figured out that if you free a little more of the existing collar back past the shoulder seam, then there's more to stretch and you don't need to buy any fabric

  • @withwendy
    @withwendy  12 років тому

    Only inside out while seam ripping the front collar, otherwise the rest can be done right side out. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

  • @JosephGallagher
    @JosephGallagher 2 роки тому

    I removed the crewneck altogether and went with the cut you did at 1:30ish, this tee feels so much more "airy". If I get another crewneck I'll try the whole process and hope it looks as good as yours

      withwendy This was a charming video and also helped me a great deal. This young lady reminds me of my nieces and her video is nearly 100% professional. I am thinking of that girl who made a video tutorial that was basically "rip the collar, ta-da!!! Ain't I cuuuute??" Here this young lady is a pro, but the lighting and her speech needed some professional help.

    Great idea. Love the thought of this. Would be awesome if you could do this again, but with a light colored shirt and also use a different colored thread.

  • @Samunin_Draquarius25
    @Samunin_Draquarius25 5 років тому +3

    This is the reason why I need to buy a seam ripper *and* pins😂
    Right now, I use a box cutter and sewing needles as subs.

    • @draketeeth8004
      @draketeeth8004 3 роки тому

      Pins are definitely useful, but not all crafters like seam rippers! Some avoid them because a seam ripper can easily poke through fabric and rip the wrong thing. A little pair of thread snips is a common go-to instead.
      That said, I admire your ingenuity.

    Try on an old shirt.. rip off the ribbing, but leave it attached at the shoulders, cut your V like she said... then stretch the ribbing out and pin it along your new shape. just follow the cut line... when done top stitch it along the bottom and that will make the neck lay better. I am sure you will like this way better.
