  • Sewing a T-shirt is easier than you might think!
    You don't need a fancy sewing machine or an expensive pattern. You just need fabric and I'll show you how to do the rest!

    I'm a 37 male who use to work at a tuxedo shop where light sewing was needed. My grandmother use to sew and it has been a wonderful memory and skill I love. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial and guidance. On my way today to buy a sewing machine. Wish I had a mother or wife like you. Thank you again. Now time to binge watch all your videos :))

    I love your channel!! I'm a beginner and literally taught myself here on UA-cam and I so happy I found your channel. My granddaughters 7 & 9 are also beginners and they are so PROUD of themselves for making their own T-shirt's from the clearance racks of women's tshirts!! Thank you Dana!!

    I love these tutorials. I have been sewing for at least 45 years. I am a seamstress and costume designer so I sew pretty much all day everyday. I do have a little tip I have found that works great with ribbed necklines. If you divide the neckline in 4ths. Pin the middle front and pin the middle back. But on the shoulder seams pin it 1/8 to 1/4 in in front of the shoulder seam. Depending on how low your front neckline is. The front is lower so it makes mor sense having a little more stretch there. Just a little tip I find that makes it lay nicer. Thanks for all of your work!

    Thought I would write this so everyone can laugh at my expense. I printed out the pattern and cut page 1 and 2, cut out the fabric and started to sew and I thought um that looks a bit small, then it wasn't until I watched your video again, plonker me I hadn't cut out page 3 and stuck it to the bottom of Page 1. So now I'm going to attempt it again. HA HA lol Love your video Dana and thank you for sharing
