I was just trying to find a way to not get strangled by my tshirts and wow! Your technique seems perfect. The front neckline is flawless. While your work impressed me (and is too advanced for me 😬) I was touched by all the beautiful comments. Seems lots of people missed you and have been thinking about you. You’ve achieved a true sense of community here. Wishing you and everyone blessings on your collective journey.

Great tutorial. I did not see the link to the more detailed view of how to get the neckline attached. I searched your channel and could not find it.

Fabulous tutorial I especially liked the extra detail for covering the back neckband. Thank you. Val ❤️🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@ElizabethMadeThisSEW]

Glad it helped you. That little detail really makes for a nice finish. Worth the extra effort every time!

[@vickiseals9742]

I was wondering how to do this. Thanks, and glad to see you again.

[@ElizabethMadeThisSEW]

Excellent! Glad to help.

What a helpful video! Great idea of cutting some of the hem fabric for the neckline. I also love the idea of using the double needle to sew the hem in knit shirts. I have a new Janome sewing machine and have not yet used the "twin-needle" function but you've encouraged me to give it a try. Thank you! 😘

Hey Myra! Thank you, and you bet!

hiiiiiiiii! nice to see you again! thx for tutorial🙂

[@ElizabethMadeThisSEW]

You're so welcome!

[@rikkib7636]

Elizabeth!! You're back!! Such a helpful video. It never dawned on me to cut length off the hem for the neckline. Mind. blown. Also, I like the detail of sewing a strip of fabric to stabilize the back. Now onto your other recent uploads:)

[@ElizabethMadeThisSEW]

Hey Rikki! Always good to hear from you. You'll never make a neckline a different way--I love how it looks and it does double duty stabilizing the seam. I started doing it when I was started refashioning in earnest and noticed that it was a common detail. I'm praying you and your family are doing well!

How did you add the ruffle to your peach t-shirt?

[@jennysspace3635]

Helpful tutorial. Good tips. Question: I am inherited an old sewing machine and am looking to buy a new one. I am between a beginner and intermediate sewer. Which machine would you recommend?? there are so many and am overwhelmed for the choice. many look flimsy.

[@tudorpottudorpot8423]

I bought a used Bernina 1230, excellent but not too complicated. Make sure you try it with thread & fabric before you hand over $.

[@lucilledaub5991]

I couldn’t see some of what you did you hands were in the way.
