Hey there, welcome to Corinne's Summer Festival Series: Part 3
Alright, I asked you guys what you wanted me to do with this T-shirt
And the most requested thing was a Doleman's style Tee
So, that's what we're making
The first thing you wanna do is cut a boat neck line
Make sure to spend some time cleaning up that cut
Then cut the sleeves hems off, and I cut about 8 inches from the bottom. Leave more if you want it longer
Next, measure your arm, divide that measurement in half, and place a pin that amount down
on your sleeve
Measure you waist, dive that measurement in half, and measure that amount along the bottom of the shirt
Centering it and placing pins
Use Tailor's Chalk and create a curved line, connecting those pins
Pin both layers of the shirt together inside of the line you just drew. Then, cut along that line
Fold the shirt in half and use that cut as a guide for cutting the other side of the shirt
Then pin that side, and sew along both pin lines
Your shirt could actually be done right now, but I like to finish up the edges
To finish up the edges, you're gonna start by cutting bands for the arms, the bottom of the shirt, and the neck line
Pin and sew all your bands together, then fold each one in half and pin that way
Now you're gonna pin the bands to their respective locations by lining up the raw edges
of the band with the raw edges of the shirt.
The band should be on the outside of the shirt
Sew all those bands on, then you wanna press the seams up so everything lies nice and flat
And now you don't have to worry about a ting Cos every little ting is gonna be alright
Hey hey hey
