How to sew a T-shirt, for kids and adults

[@joshuaespinoza2567]

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 :))

[@michelelovinglife]

I love your channel!! I'm a beginner and literally taught myself here on KZbin 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!!

[@MADEEveryday]

Oh good! Awesome! :) Dana

[@deborahbowman219]

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!

[@colettepalma2706]

you truly did a great job im just a kid but im starting sewing and I love how the camera is showing all of the the I need to see

[@Neoxie]

I love how all of your sewing tutorials are using a basic sewing machine and not a serger ! It's refreshing~

[@MADEEveryday]

Thanks! It's nice to know how to do both ways! Thanks for watching :) Dana

[@grecamcknight1444]

I dear, I'm a beginner and love your tutorials, they are really easy to understand and very encouraging, especially for people like me. Thanks a lot

[@jaiyabrown1777]

[@harte708]

I’m brand new to sewing, and new to motherhood, and your channel has me SO EXCITED and inspired to make some clothes for my daughter. I finally feel like I can do this! Thank you!!

[@marcusbraxter0909]

I thank God for the gift He gave you and thank you for sharing it with us . I can't wait to try to do the tee shirt

[@amandaskeenssmith2807]

I've been wanting to learn how to sew and you actually taught me a lot out of all the videos i've watched. You explain very well, thank you!

[@elizabethstephens7865]

Ahhh, this is a perfect video! I love how you showed how to make a pattern. I also love how your free pattern is in 4T. I have an almost 3 year old so I can make this shirt and she can wear it baggy until it fits properly. :D

[@TheSweetgurliee]

loved this! I don't have any kids to make this shirt for but I will be applying the tutorial to adult tshirts! your videos are so happy and inspiring and you make it so simple to follow!!

[@smallfootprint2961]

So much info here. I really need this. Takes the scary out of using an existing garment to redo size or style a bit. Thanks for keeping it simple and for posting.

[@Danca4eva11]

The reason I love your channel so much is you make such daunting projects seem so simple, and the way you instruct us how to create it makes it actually doable! I really love your channel, I hope you keep posting!

[@susankemp4626]

Thank you Dana, this is awesome, am watching ALL your KZbin video's and am so inspired. Made some pants for my son and couldn't believe it was ME that made them! So easy. Thanks for your tutorials.

[@JenniferJason]

I'm just learning sewing, and this is the best video I've found to make a shirt smaller! You're a great teacher!

[@giverny28]

Sew glad I found your channel!! You are so detailed, but not too much. Very polished. I was able to make the skirt on my first try! Thanks so much. Can't wait to see more videos.

My goodness, you make everything look so easy. Thank you

[@statuesque27]

Yayy!! So excited for this! I've been following your blog for a few years now and I fell in love with the tutorials from day one. They really got me motivated with sewing, repurposing, and trying new things. So it's great to now see those tutorials come to life. Thanks so much for this and I look fwd to seeing more.

[@rubycartwright6785]

You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to one day making at least one t-shirt for each of my little boys.

[@MCMCMCMC1227]

You are amazing, Dana! I'm a beginner at sewing, but you just made my life easier. :D I learned so much about sewing just by watching your videos. Keep on rockin'! :)

[@Sandy-qx4he]

I can't wait to start helping out my daughter with making some basic clothes for my grandchildren. The expense of everything these days is so high, I'm hoping I can help out!

[@artistikdiva74]

So glad you have a channel now. I love your patterns but have been too chicken to try the t shirt. Neckholes and sleeves - YIKES! But you make it look so easy.

[@MADEEveryday]

go for it! remember that it's just fabric and you can always toss it in the trash and start over if you need to! Sewing is always an adventure :)

[@angelasheppard7197]

Nice tip.I am new to your site but I am enjoying it. I am a large woman which makes finding clothes a challenge. I am losing weight though. This information will help me make my own clothes as I lose. Can't wait to see more tips.Thanks

[@joe-annjones4303]

[@elaina9483]

Amazing video, Dana! I'm a beginner; I just got a sewing machine from my husband! This is really going to help in converting his shrinking t-shirts into shirts for my boys!

[@VelvetCards]

I believe this video is for beginners or those who want to learn a different and simple way to sew a child's tee... I like the tutorial and find it helpful.... Thank you for making these videos, I'm watching and I'm not a beginner...

[@mumblesandwool1243]

[@915MONI]

Your very talented, and give easy steps to keep along without getting lost

[@ConvexPaintingNerd]

I love your videos! watch them everyday. I'm a beginner, I learned how to make a skirt for my daughter watching your other video. Thanks!!

[@phesine]

Really great video, Dana! It's so professional. Your talent, organization, simplicity, fun personality, and all the work you do to keep us informed make you every seamstress' best friend (whether we're beginners or not). It's great to get to see you in action and hear your voice, too. Congratulations on your new channel!

Dana you are the best!! Your tutorials are always so great, but I am thrilled to see your videos! The next best thing to sewing with you in person. Thank for being such an awesome inspiration! :)

[@VelvetCards]

Don't forget to either zigzag your seams to prevent raveling... PS: you can also use a serger, but to keep cost down, zigzag... Love Your Tutorial...

[@tinamariesaraiah8298]

Knit fabric doesn't unravel, only woven fabric does. It does look more finished though

[@onecookieboy]

[@brookejaso516]

[@ayanpaul3238]

Thank you for your video. now I know the t-shirt manufacture steps very simply.

[@geraldinelombardo7897]

Cool, but i wouldnt recomnend sewing over pins :(

[@TannerandGus_2023]

Geraldine Lombardo for real 😂 I learned that mistake the hard way needle flew off and flew past my eye it almost would have stabbed me!!

[@rochellerichardson3113]

It hard to sew without those pins specially if its stretchable.

[@annabellep9147]

Sewing over pins the way she did, where they're perpendicular to the seam you're sewing, is actually fine and a super handy trick. The needle just slips over them You're absolutely right about sewing over pins when they're in the same direction as the seam, though.

[@shoeboxsofa2316]

;( yea

[@harrietmcguiganmindset8309]
