Can anyone please explain what I’m doing wrong? 😭 I can’t seem to join the panels correctly!

I’m trying to join my back panel and front panel for this top that I made. I’m really bad at the mattress stitch with the embroidery needle it always looks bad and it’s very hard for me to work with especially with how Tunisian crochet curls. Even when I manage to do it it still looks like in the picture.

I used the slip stitch to join my panels here by putting them side by side going under both Vs and slip stitching but as you can see it looks horrible! I saw other people using the slip stitch on tiktok and it didn’t make a visible seam in the front? What am I doing wrong? Please help! Thank you! (Sorry if my English is messed up)

Has anyone made a Tunisian crochet shirt or top using a single strand of lace weight yarn?

I live in Texas, so summers are brutally hot, but I
absolutely love the workflow of Tunisian crochet and would much rather make a wearable in Tunisian than regular crochet or knitting.

I'm wondering if a Tunisian crochet fabric made with lace weight yarn would actually be light and breathable enough for summer wear, or if it would still end up feeling too dense and warm. I'd love to make a simple T-shirt, but I don't want to spend all that time on a project I can only wear a few days a year.

If you've made something similar, I'd love to see pictures and hear what yarn, hook size, and stitch pattern you used. Do you think this is realistically doable for a Texas summer, or am I fighting against the nature of Tunisian crochet?

Thanks!
