I just l love all of your tutorials!!!! You are so wonderful and pleasant to watch and listen to and your knowledge is incredible. I am 56 and just getting serious about sewing my own clothes especially with Menopause and my shape being harder to keep the way it used to look when I was younger. LOL Being able to make my own clothes especially from clothes that already fit me well, well that is priceless. Thanks again for all of your tutorials and being you.

[@minarose1215]

wendy, can you please make a tutorial on how you make your patterns? if you're just using clothes you already have, can you still show us how you do it and edit (if you wanna make it a little bit different) it along the way? please? thank you!

[@withwendy]

+mina rose roxas Yes! So sorry! In the vast majority of cases I lay down a piece of clothing on the fabric and cut half an inch away from the edge to leave room for sewing seams. I'll show more in the future!

[@minarose1215]

Thank you! I love your videos. I just find it a bit rushed somehow? I'm sorry because I'm totally clueless and just wanna learn how i can actually start sewing. haha. i'm sorry and thank you! :)

[@candb5512]

withwendy where do i buy the fabric from ❓

[@candb5512]

withwendy where did you buy the fabric from

[@ranbirkaur1078]

there is a tutorial now!

[@stopquinn]

I finally got a sewing machine during Christmas, so I'm rewatching all of these videos to burn it into my head.

[@withwendy]

I keep getting messages from people who got sewing machines for Christmas, this is so exciting!!

[@vickydadicky69jk]

lmaooo burn it into my head 🤣

[@DayDreamSounds]

Your tutorials are way too fast!! it took me like 4 hours to make the t shirt! And I have no idea how to do that collar, i cant even see what you are doing :(

[@charlotte6484]

same, i can't understand how she does the collar

[@everybodydad352]

y’all should check out annika victoria’s tutorials she explains vv detailed

[@limitcanc3l]

Where did you get the fabric and what kind?

[@DontEatYourMicrowave]

5 years late bit But I’m pretty sure u can use any fabric

[@blueberrypie9608]

wow a recent comment. hmm i think cotton is the type of fabric that is used on most t shirts ☺

[@MissLilCuteTea]

@@blueberrypie9608 do you know exact material for the softer shirt? I have this tshirt that is labeled 100%cotton but super soft and another one that is also cotton but very uncomfortable. Any reccomendations on how I can find the exact fabric?

[@blueberrypie9608]

@@MissLilCuteTea I think it depends on how it's made or how the shirt is sewed. I'm wearing cotton right now and it's comfortable.

[@blueberrypie9608]

@@MissLilCuteTea you can try voile or jersey fabric

[@marcelasway]

I love everything about this video! The lighting, the fact that your making a Tshirt, the editing!! Everything... great job! ❤️❤️❤️

[@valeriacordero9012]

Hi! I plan to make it this weekend it looks awesome! But how much fabric should I buy? A yard or 2?

[@taylurmont7520]

I am so happy I came across your page. I'm very very new at sewing and I feel so much better now that I have an easy tutorial to follow as I practice sewing. Thank you so much. I can't wait to binge watch all of your videos lol

[@Mycozybookishlife]

You make it all look so easy 😩 I'm a beginner so I think I'll give this a try !

[@alexn.1446]

How did it go?

[@madebyzheng]

thank you wendy，我在法国也很喜欢手工，但从没有做过衣服，看了你的教程，突然觉得原来做衣服没有想象那么难，原来也不一定要纸样。我已经完成了一件女儿的cosplay的一件中世纪小衬衣，找到了信心。我现在又买了些针织布来做T，不知道需要用特殊的needle吗？真的很谢谢你！希望你早日实现自己的梦想！

[@KntckyFriedChkn]

I dont know how i never thought of sewing the sleeves that way.. I guess Im so used to always attaching the sleeves after figuring out my torso pattern but attaching AND sewing this was and then sewing the side seam is SO much easier

[@hafaadaideborah]

T-shirts are so expensive and this diy tee is such a great idea for a more custom fit. Great tutorial! ♡

[@vanendersilencio8452]

hi i wonder what kind of fabric did you use? or any suggestions of good fabric for t-shirt? thanks! 😁

[@cutedrawings2222]

Hi! I'm not an expert, but for a beginner, I recommend cotton or stretchy polyester. It might fit better if its stretchy, but a firm cotton is easier to work with.

[@peachtea6802]

Soooo I'm going to try this out... Update: I've just completed step 1 of sewing AND IM LOVING IT will update later.... Edit: TYSM FOR THE VIDEO THE TOP WAS AMAZING

[@Wrightn221]

The neck technique is all that! Thanks so much. I messed up a neckline on a shirt. It's my first time sewing t-shirts, but will always use your technique.

[@Trub1e5hooter]

interesting video... ive become very tired of tshirts from shops... even wen i buy expensive ones... its still a gamble on how long they will last and some of my cheaper ones outlast them.... ive wanted to make my own shirts for years and i find ur video motivating.... i liked the point about putting tension on the collar as u sew it to the shirt to make it lie flat... i find collars are one of the first things to go on shop shirts... sometimes after only a couple washes

[@simonehenry9041]

How much fabric do I buy ? and what fabric do you recommend ?

[@elliotts6335]

amazing! what fabric is this?

[@stefangrimus2789]

this looks really good! where can i find a pattern for the black tshirt?

[@elisekasman2186]

how much fabric did you buy in total? i'm wondering if i have enough at home

[@mellosays]

Do you not use an overlock or serger to sew stretchy fabrics? I thought this was needed to keep the threads intact on the garment.

[@sarahwitty5039]

What type of fabric is best used to make a t-shirt. Not a new sewer but never made my own clothes and wanna give it a try but never know the best material. Needs a little stretch but soft as will be made for my sister.

[@TheCameraham]

I got a sewing machine for Christmas and I'm excited to start but I feel like I have a long way to go! I hope I can successfully make this 🤞🏽

[@tenacious-e3o]

Monique Fields have faith and believe

[@ssnekky]

I've started sewing since i want to start making my own cosplays. So excited!

[@lollyann8512]

I don't understand how I mess up sewing the sleeves to the shirt. This is always where I mess up. I wish there was a video that gave a better view of what hell is going on cause it's the most aggravating thing.

[@stormcrow3642]

Great video, I’m going to try this with hand stitching lol any chance you have a video on that?

[@nickz.6137]

Hi. Can you use this technique if you want to make a reversible t-shirt? Or are there other steps that needs to be done differently? (Asking cause I'm a total newbie.)

[@tonyhufstetler506]

I plan on making my own especially since I’m on a total gym and Walmart shirts will be harder to fit after a while it one thing I will advise you on and my late grandmother would say the same and that’s to throw that brother machine out and get a singer. My first brother gave me issues with the bobbin now I have a singer confidence 7640 which I have found to be a versatile solid machine.

[@handsomeabu]

Which needle and thread you used in this ? I'm using ball point needle my stitches are getting skipped.. would stretch needle work ?

[@mylena3086]

How things changed since the release of this video It's still a great tutorial And kind of cool to see the progress

[@313pookie313]

the strip of fabric for the neckline: was it cut on the bias?

[@kimberlysmith2688]

Wendy, great video! Exactly what fabric did you use? If it was a knit, what weight or percent stretch? I’m just starting to work with knits and am a little nervous.

[@qiuforster3370]

Hello Wendy, when you were attaching the collar, you said to make sure there is more tension on the collar piece than on the shirt so that it lays flat when finished. May I please know what you mean by 'more tension'? Thanks :) I've just started sewing and look forward to being able to sew beautifully like you one day!

[@knoopsylvia]

What material did you start off with ? Mercenised cotton ?

[@EvieOhNooo]

Ohhhh my gosh! I'm a hair stylist, do you know how many black bleach stained t-shirts I own? Now I can make an endless supply of fresh tees! Thanks so much Wendy! Enjoy your honeymoon! 💕❤️

[@toniroohr8282]

Does your shirt snap with a straight stitch? Or do you zigzag the sides?

[@KennethCatoe]

I’m a new follower and new beginner sewer! Have never used a sewing machine before! How long does it take to do this technique?

[@user-iu4yn4tr1r]

I have many questions. What about seam allowance when sewing the shoulders together? How do you actually pin the sleeves to the hole? What about seam allowance when it comes to sewing the sides? How did you actually sew the collar? We couldn’t see much.

[@jessicafung1173]

i agree

[@mae7195]

How much apart is the foot away from the fabric? I forgot the exact name for it and it's hard to explain. I'm just in the middle of making a T shirt. And thank you, this is amazing!

[@michelle_yu]

@withwendy do you ever finish your seams so that nothing unwinds? Wondering what kind of seams to use :(

[@Ozhull]

Wendy! Your hair looked very cute this length! Thanks for the tutorial

[@rav2n]

hi there, do you have a more beginner friendly playlist? (i.e, an absolute beginner to dress making - let's say, haven't even fixed buttons on a shirt kinda level)

[@kafo9263]

How thick and long is the collar? You are so helpful😄

[@eyesore5506]

Excuse me, someone answer, what fabric is used here? The stretchy one, what's the the name of that fabric?

[@smallfootprint2961]

Just found this. Great info, especially about the ability to change the sleeve styles. I always tug on my sleeves. They seem to crawl up on me. I need to be able to make them a little longer and more straight across. Thank you.

[@mhmosthated8697]

Hey you should sell your measurement cut outs and put a link also for where to buy the fabric

[@TheFashionWHT]

Had no idea there was a difference between men's shirt sleeves and women's shirt sleeves lol. Good piece of info to know! Now I'm going to work on some of my own T-shirts too! Awesome vid!!!!

[@CarlosDaniel-ul7wo]

i find it hard to sew a simple shirt! or maybe i was just using the wrong fabric? do i have to use stretch fabric?

[@Cfeldersproduction007]

How long did it take to make the t shirt also can you learn how to make something just from a picture if so how do you go about doing it.

[@letessiastewart9009]

hey wendy.... can you please make a video on how to cut out the patterns for the t-shirt step by step. the sewing part i have just trying to get the shirt pattern to look right. Thanks in advance

[@jingyunlu1888]

Wendy, what kind of sewing machine are you using in the video?

[@nevermind8895]

How did you trace the sleeves? I am interested in making my own clothes and I would appreciate any advice!

[@jazminrodriguez9799]

Wendy can you create a video on making a shirt or sweatshirt with multiple colors of fabric? please.. I have been dying to learn!

[@zeagzeag6215]

what kind of fabric I should use to make tshirt?

Thanks for the tutorial!! I’ve successfully made a Pugsly t shirt for my son for Halloween since they’re hard to find in stores cheap!! 🎉🎉

[@praveencrypty7902]

Can you please what kind of fabric you have used. I am amazed to see it not curled at the edges.

[@SS-ec6bd]

Did you study fashion design? I don’t know if I should go to fashion school or if I can teach everything my self. I want to make my own clothes

[@94JAVS]

Thanks for sharing all the details, it's been more interesting than most of the t-shirt tutorials I've seen

[@mbonayosopi-chandelle3705]

Hello very nice Tee .... how many meters did you use for them ?

[@valeriehsin]

hai wendy it would be so nice if you can make a tutorial on how to make an oversized tee! It's too hard to find an oversize tee that suit my bodytype so I decided to make my own..by the way , your video is awsome!

[@robind8155]

Hi Wendy, which sewing machine are you using?

[@popcookie10]

i havent even looked through your channel and ive already subscribed. this is my first time watching any of your videos

[@debbieann896]

Unfortunately the ad at the end was smack in the center of the picture of the final v-neck picture so I was able to see how it turned out, but I was able to follow along on the steps and am sure I'll like the outcome. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@wanieutaqa9079]

May I know what kind of sewing machine are you using?

[@altagibson7979]

Do you not measure and use calculations to measure the neckline, mine gets too big after a while of wearing, and now I do not want to sew them, have tons of things to make but have not got the confidence to start again

[@abdulrokib786]

Hi Wendy. Any book recommendation for sewing

[@MadmoiselleLady]

What is the brand of the machine brother you are using please ? if you dont mind me asking :)

[@bigfatmoose4]

try etsy

[@liminal_sock]

Check fabric.com, they have a huge selection of colors and prints and stuff

I have a question. How much fabric is this? Or better said, how much Fabric did you need? 2 meters max?

[@34greenster]

How do you make the sleeves for the more masculine t shirt?

[@ciaranavan8915]

What’s the brand of sowing machine that you use?

[@miarasajid4935]

what material did you use to create the shirt?

[@philipemalta670]

I really love your idea! You see! Many of features are very expensive cost. Making good t-shirts for yourself can be a begning.

[@josecoverlessons]

any tips on the best fabrics?

[@xstaticxstatic]

How important are rotary cutting mats? I was thinking of getting one as I want to start making my own clothes, but you don't seem to need one! :)

[@francescalanigan-meade9615]

tasniah they're a preference, if you can cut straight with scissors, do it! however the Rotary cutter tends to be more ease and speed!

[@ninatyslenko3508]

Wendy, how did you make a pattern for this tutorial? I can't understand how to make all these preform

[@ephemerics]

Please, how did you make the pattern from an existing shirt? Tips on sewing stretchy knits.

[@LizFaganBand]

Hi Wendy ! I've been a fan of yours for years. I love your content ! I've been trying to make shirts and I find that making a sleeve is so hard, even when I trace a shirt I already own. Could you do a video about drafting sleeves, please? Love from Newfoundland, Canada

[@ojetepepino]

Pretty dope, Wendy. i'd love to see a few more videos of garments that could be made for us guys too!

[@jonnyboi7087]

tee shirts are unisex? lmao

[@deanmcphillips2296]

what fabric do people use to make tshirts?

[@staceybaez1363]

Is it $10 for one t shirt or the two t shirts you guys have?

[@umbrellegirl]

I'm really new to sewing, could anyone tell me what fabric she is using for this tee?! thanks

[@YvesGeorge]

Love the video. I'm also planning to make one myself but I don't know what fabric to use. Can I use any kind of knit fabric?

[@withwendy]

+Yves George Sanchez Yes! The thickness of the knit will just determine how warm and how the fabric will drape on your body.

[@Chickenutbread]

Hey wendy! I was wondering if you knew what specific material they use to make commercial tshirt's neckline? Its like a ribbed material unlike the rest of the tshirt.

[@withwendy]

+Valerie Ye Yes! In many cases it's ribbed knit in the same colour as the shirt, which you can pick up at fabric stores too. In my varsity jacket tutorial for example I used ribbed white knit fabric to make the cuff, collar, and waistband.

[@Chickenutbread]

+withwendy oh okay thankyou so much wendy!! Hehe im starting to make all my favourite basics from scratch and im finding myself refering to your videos more often! Happy new year! Have a great year ahead!

wow this is seven years old...feels like it was filmed yesterday

I'm new in the sewing world. Can somebody please tell me what type of thread do I need? Is that elastic? Also, what kind of stitch do I use? Thank you! 💟👕

[@pontehlong]

I REAAAALLLYYY DO love this DIY, and I feel so bad because I think it's a bit too fast and as a person who is not speaking english super duper well, it's a bit confusing when it goes so fast. But I do love it, and I wished that I got it. But it's a little too fast for me. You're great! And I'm sorry I wasn't fast enough.

[@blue_poseidon]

But how long should the collar piece be?

[@laibaathar6066]

Ive been watching this for 4 years and i never make one

[@lerneninverschiedenenforme7513]

how do you get the basic shape of the material? how do you measure your body?
