ABOUT:
Hi, I'm Wendy, and I have been on a sewing journey ever since my mom taught me how to make little outfits for my dolls. I studied engineering and business, had an office job for two years, and then quit to embark on a lifelong sewing adventure on KZbin. Subscribe to join me on the adventure, and maybe make your own clothing too! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@PandaBeafr]

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.

[@hilaryjordan7761]

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!!!!

[@Dawnie-bi6qu]

Crew necks make me choke too

[@dakshatashinde2343]

thanks

[@surgupta91]

Same pinch!

[@kingofcourtjesters]

youre probably getting them too small

[@mamaswagg100]

I hate that feeling as well lol

[@aeonfluxcapacitor77]

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.

[@erict7093]

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.!

[@nancykim4302]

Thank you! Your instruction can not be any clear than one anticipated.

[@christinekirsch3297]

Great tutorial! Just wish it wasn't on a black shirt, got a little confused at the end.

[@barbaraness4507]

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 KZbin is making my brain lazy. I do appreciate you sharing this method! Thanks!

[@TheGodlymom]

Wendy, I appreciate you. Ever since I found this video and fixed my hubby’s shirts, he’s no longer uncomfortable buying shirts that he likes. He no longer has to hack them up so that they can’t be worn in public. I have fixed many shirts now and it really is easy. Thanks a million. God bless you. The Godly Mom

[@wendiwendi7134]

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!

[@withwendy]

Hand sew is possible, just takes longer that's all =)

[@judiko142]

Would it be possible to demonstrate this? Much appreciated

[@angeles2470]

This was so helpful. Finally a tutorial that can reuse the collar.

[@withwendy]

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.

[@AnnieAtRecess]

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]

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.

[@bobjolly7795]

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.

[@snip-sniptear956]

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!

[@Benni1214]

Finally I find a video that shows how you can do this in the right way! I've got loads of tshirts that are basically slick tight to my neck. It looks really bad in my eyes and I don't know why so many designers make them like this but now at least I might be able to change them (with my mom's help xd). It's mostly band shirts so that's why I'm buying them even if the neck is tight and I could've gone for something else...

[@rogerwillan1606]

I've thought the same thing so many times...how do these people become designers when they can't even get the simple stuff , like a neck line right!It's mind boggling.

[@ramnicki]

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!

[@Kwantifye]

Excellent tutorial! I've given away so many shirts because of the rounded neck. I'm going to try this - can't wait!

[@LottieSue]

Brilliant! I've been searching through youtube videos for ages to find someone teaching how to do a finished altered neckline on tee's - thank you for much for posting!

[@jamievalentine6181]

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 :-)

[@CallMeAlice818]

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 ^_^

[@Quci52]

You just made my life easier! I've been trying to figure out how to do this. You are a genius.

[@RandomDude-bo1lg]

Thank you beautiful. Helped a lot. Now I just need to learn how to sew

[@sekaihatsu]

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.

[@cindywomack676]

Thanks so much! I have searched all over for a tutorial that doesn't just leave a cheap looking raw edge. Happy to have found this

[@withwendy]

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!

[@Auzzymom27]

This tutorial is awesome!!! I was able to turn my crew necks into v-necks so easily! Thank you!!!!!

[@azulchromis4569]

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!

[@tunisharenee]

Shirt came out perfectly! Thank you!

[@crematia2332]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been looking for a way to make my shirts into a v-neck while keeping the "store bought" look. Looking forward to watching your other videos!

[@helenmary4869]

Definitely the best I have seen of how to change to a V neck.You are amazing.Thank you!

[@annielove4443]

I've been sewing for over a hundred years, and I'm quite surprised with how easy that was!

[@iamxsockworthy]

hand stitching this was a lot easier than machine, but thanks for the really useful tutorial!

[@jmbarris8780]

I see your post is quite old, but I had to tell you your video was just what I was looking for to turn a bunch of crew necks into V. Your video worked perfectly in explaining how to do this. I even found an additional trick to make the point even easier to accomplish. Thanks again!

[@CuspLibra82]

Thank you so much!!!!😍🤩💓💖💓💖 I love the result and you make the directions easy to follow.

[@maddinar6727]

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! :*

[@kkakacek]

Good clear instructions, Wendy. Thanks!

[@bevsnyman857]

Great tutorial, I shared this to my sewing group a few weeks ago, and today got to try it out, Thank you , now I can buy tshirts to change and wear them out

[@VRRother]

Keeping my fingers crossed that I don't mess this up. Thanks for the video. The finished neckline is just what I'm aiming for.

[@rootssister01]

I love this idea 💡

[@marilynirizarry6158]

This is an Excellent tutorial. Thank you.

[@Bunnieb559]

I love this, it's exactly what I was looking for but I don't know how to use a sewing machine

[@elainefarr3155]

Thank you! Great tutorial and you explain it really well. I'm in the process of changing a lot of my shirts into V-necks and this helped me so much!

[@leslindelgado6124]

Aaww! Look how young you look. Now you’re a mom. Still an awesome tutorial a whole decade later. I’m rejuvenating a few of my old shirts now thanks to this video. ❤️

[@Magpiebard]

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.

[@jilldolan5275]

Clear and concise. Thank you.

[@withwendy]

@nm7kneeslapper Yup this is an updated version, I'm glad it's much clearer for you!

[@suzum5689]

I had never heard of this before. Pretty cool. I will have to give it a try. Thanks!

[@shiregirl2001]

Thank you. I did this following your instructions, and it worked great!

[@beatrizzacatzi3621]

Thank you !!!! Awesome short tutorial video.

[@awkwardavocado349]

I have a round neck t-shirt which I got from my school for my dance and I've not used it since then finally stumbled upon ur video... now time to use that t-shirt...😁😁😁

[@aprillesweatt7950]

Excellent tutorial! You are so wise for your years. Many thanks!

[@withwendy]

Definitely a straight stitch is the best option, no zigzag craziness haha

[@AngelaKaySams]

Thanks Wendy! I just followed your tutorial to change a scoop neck tank into a v neck!

[@KiwiCakeful]

Thank you!!! I bought a cute thrifted shirt that I loved so much, but the crew neck was weirdly tight... I tried following your tutorial and it looks so much better on me now! I love it! Thank you!

[@withwendy]

It's a knit fabric, I think I might have said jersey knit in the video, but you should also check "ribbed knit" =)

[@bonnielunzmann502]

Thank you for this tutorial. I followed it and was able to make a crew neck that I didn't like into a v-neck that looks so much better on me. Nice job!

[@jrw412]

Why did you cover the last frame of the finished neckline with an ad for your other videos? I wanted to see the finished project! Gheeze!!

[@Whitney_Sews]

Great tutorial! I've had so many people ask me how to do this so I will be sharing it on my facebook page :)

[@ammanasuh4946]

Wonderful idea. Thanks for sharing with us.

[@romeosincere117]

Pretty cool. This might work well on shirts with streched-out collars.

[@cynforrest]

Worked just like a charm. Thanks for the detailed info. Also the close-up camera work was very helpful!!

[@JoDidntHearYou]

I just tried this technique, and it was quick and easy! Thank you, Wendy! Praise God for you! Please keep the tutorials coming :)

[@ObscureJoel]

Thank you, you've assisted the rare species of men that can sow and I can't thank you enough

[@misguidedvogue]

Seems very easy, will be giving this one a try. Thanks for the tutorial! I love your videos

[@heathercortes9567]

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.

[@jackieo8693]

I had trouble getting the edging to stretch enough. Thanks for the video!

[@paulinewqi]

You have saved all my crew neck T's...fantastic tutorial. . Thanks for sharing. ..

[@nosliwveb]

Thanks Wendy, great tutorial. I used this to change an expensive blouse from a crew to a v neck and it worked perfectly!

[@judirinaldi6094]

I HATE round neck t-shirts. What a great way to turn all of my t-shirts into v-necks.

[@melk.3485]

Wow, thank you so much 🌟 It took me ages to find a decent video about this with instructions on finishing.

[@ceoofmyhome]

Thank you! About to go on a trip and have matching t-shirts for five kids and two parents...this tutorial was quick, easy, and can v-neck the shirts in just a few mins

[@stressedandunimpressed]

I bought my mom a crew neck shirt for her birthday and am only just now remembering she hates crew necks. I'm going to give this a shot! Seems simple enough

[@huynh4128]

YOU. ARE. A. GODDESS. YES. YOU. WENDY.

[@nanaaw5395]

Excellent tutorial. I watched a few others and your is the first I saw that gives a professional looking finish! Just what I was looking for. Thanks!

[@yilanzhu]

i was like in the middle of writing a literature short paper with more than 20 tabs on and suddenly i'm here lol i dont even have any sewing kit in the dorm rn but the urge to do this is strong. *flips papers*

[@withwendy]

***** You can do it! Cheering you on as you write your paper!!

[@priscillaimaysay219]

Hanna Lee A

[@kitsune.stitch]

This was amazing, and the finishing looks great! Thank you!

[@jewlz1.1.1]

Loved this, Wendy! Excellent tutorial. Mine may not look AS professional, as yours, but I'll give it a shot just the same! Lol. Thank you so much!

[@ETPeterson1328]

best video ive seen on how to do this

[@Bennuides]

ok im going to do that this week and let you know if i have any luck! thanks Wendy!

[@Cassinessify]

THANK YOU!! I have seen some V- Neck tutorials on here where they just rip the shirt, this is WAY better. I've been looking at a shirt that only comes in a crew neck and now I can get it and convert it! A million

[@DuhItsMeLeo]

okay okay hand down bad a**, thanks Wendy! life saver right here, all the other v neck makers don't give as good as results as your vid! thanks!! :)

[@hannaheartsfashion]

I am so confused but it was a good idea and it looks pretty professional! So good job(: lol

[@melindat.1259]

THANK YOU!!!!! Just finished mine and it looks great!

[@JosephGallagher]

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

[@DrCrandall]

Brilliant! Really appreciate the pithiness. Thank you!!

[@smuptin]

This is a great tutorial! Thanks so much! Exactly what I was looking for!

[@suzannetitley4822]

Fantastic...exactly what I was looking for. Thank You so much Wendy.

[@withwendy]

Of course! This tutorial is just if you want to keep the collar look =)

[@bridgetjones8339]

I love v necks! Thank you

[@trinitiemoon]

Thank you so easy. And also your just made me happy listening to you haha.

[@LeinadNoredlac]

Finally a tutorial that doesn't last 5 min. only to show unprofessional crappy necklines. Thank you, this really helped.

[@pamelaleitman9200]

Best one I have seen so far!

[@frognapsss]

If i remember correctly, i think you already made this tutorial with an american apparel shirt. But watching this was clearer than before, thanks! I'm gonna try this on a few of my shirts from threadless!

[@meowishkat]

i love this !! so simple and easy !!!! thank you !

[@kelleyarcher3635]

Thank you! I have some really cute t-shirts but they are all crew neck and make my neck look even shorter than it is. I can't wait to try this.

[@1x671]

This is great! I'm not able do this myself, but the tailor learned how to do this even he can't speak english.

[@wolves400000]

Thanks Wendy! So easy..your tutorial worked great!

[@fortitude2557]

Best tutorial ever!

[@isaiahbraugher9342]

Thanks for pointing me to 3:3. It's a cool passage!

[@12stewieable]

Thanks for a great tutorial! Easy and professional looking.
