So here’s the deal.
You don’t need a serger, coverstitch, or expensive equipment to make up a fantastic t-shirt. You do need to know what kind of fabric you want! Something around a 200 to 240 gsm cotton/lycra is perfect; but you can also go with, say, a bamboo (a drapier feel). It’s up to you! If you have any questions, leave them in the comments and I will personally take care of you!
I’ll be using the Jalie 2918, a fantastic pattern with a large size range! This pattern has fit my partner and two sons for many, many years of family life!
Chest: 22″ – 50″
Hip: 23″ – 51″
For this sew-along you will need:
1. A tuned up machine that can sew a balanced zig zag, and your machine manual
2. Your pattern, notions, and materials (see below)
3. All thread, cutting and marking implements, et cetera
We start the project the 14th of September, but on the 1st I’ll host an IG Live to answer any questions (and you can post them here, too). All my livestreams are at 5 PM Pacific; all my sewing sessions will be broadcast on my Facebook page and my twitch (subscribe!).
Here is our schedule:
TUE 1: IG LIVE project introduction; fabric sourcing & serger talk
MON 14: grading, cutting, & marking
WED 16: sewing!
THU 17: IG LIVE recap & Q&A
It’s easy to miss a sew-along session – so please subscribe to my live calendar link if you want to get hooked in!
