I can’t seem to buy a simple tshirt where my bra strap doesn’t peek out. Most pronounced on V necks but happens on crew necks too. I can do simple machine sewing. I usually have to shorten my tshirts so I would like to fix this too
I made my first nightgown from a pattern using woven cotton just like the pattern suggested. It worked out but now I realize I really prefer knit nightgowns. Can I work up that same pattern in a knit? If so are there modifications I should make? Additionally the bottom portion of the armhole was slightly tight if I cut a deeper armhole do I also modify the sleeve to make that longer(deeper) too. Thanks
Well I did it. First time I sewed something from a pattern. With some help from you guys I finished the Butterick 5792 nightgown. It fits decently a bit too fussy for everyday use. Not perfect for sure but I learned a few things!
This is the first time I’ve tried to sew a pattern. A nightgown Butterick 5792. I got the neck and side seams and done basted in a sleeve. However the sleeve feels tight in the armpit area. Is there a fix for this? I usually just shorten Tshirts and pants so I am a true beginner. Usually my PJ’s are knits so the material gives. This is woven cotton but very light weight and soft. Thanks for you advice
I just hemmed a Nine West T Shirt 95% rayon 5% spandex using a twin stretch needle stitch length of 3 and tension of 2. It hemmed fine looks good but as I put it on I can feel the stitches pulling. In fact I can stretch the bottom hem and feel the hem moving. Now I see a small area where the bobbin stitch has disappeared. I do not have a serger and I don’t think a zig zag stitch would look nice. Any suggestions? I can probably resew the missing segment or pick whole thing out but if I redo I certainly want to avoid this happening again
I would like to downsize this skirt by about 4 inches in the body. There are no side seams. Can I just measure and make my own side seams? Can I just use the current elastic waist band which isn’t stretched out and has stitching through it now. I am a newbie to sewing
