Hey there, thanks for watching With Wendy.
This tutorial will show you how to turn a regular t-shirt into a V-neck.
There are a lot of V-neck tutorials out there
but some of them don't really leave you with a professional look to the collar.
So if you want it to look a little bit more store-bought, this is definitely a great tutorial for you.
For this project you just need what the shirt comes with, you don't need any extra fabric.
Unless you want to make your V-neck super deep.
Then you're going to have to need some extra of the collar fabric
Which is usually a jersey knit and you can get it at the fabric store.
It's a short project; it should just take you under 30 minutes.

Bye!
Begin by gently ripping apart the front collar with a seam ripper.
Flip the shirt so that it's folded in half down the middle.
Take a pair of scissors and cut out the v-neck shape.
You shouldn't be going any more than two inches down from the neck.
Cut the collar piece in half with the pair of scissors.
To prepare the collar for the new neckline, give both ends a little stretch.
Start at the shoulder and pin the collar to the right side of the shirt.
You need to stretch the collar as you go
but keep the shirt relatively flat.
If the collar doesn't make it all the way to the bottom of V, you have to start over with a little bit more stretch
or it means that you cut your v a little too deep
and you're going to need some extra fabric to make the collar go all the way.
Sew down one of the sides completely, but stop just a little bit ahead of the V.
I've pinned the end of the collar to the right side of the shirt at the bottom of the V.
The red pin represents one side, and the green pin represents the other side of the V.
We're first going to sew down the red side and then switch over and go back up the green side.
This is going to form the bottom of the V in the front of the shirt.
When you're done sewing the V this is what it looks like from the front
and this is what it looks like on the inside.
Now you can sew down the other half of the collar starting at the shoulder and going down towards the V.
Stop when you have a little bit left of the collar.
Looking from the inside of the shirt, this is how the collar looks right now.
One side the V is complete and the other one is still a loose end.
We want to hide this loose end behind the V so it can't be seen from the front.
This is going to be done by laying it down behind the V, pinning it, and then sewing it into place.
I left the pin and flipped it inside out so you could see what it looks like from the front.
Now that the collar is fixed to the shirt, we need to fix this free hanging little edge.
Using a needle and thread, we can hand sew the free edge to the backside of the other collar piece.
To do this make sure you're piercing through the free edge, then picking up only a little bit of the back collar piece, and going
back and forth like that. Make sure you don't pick up too much
or else it's going to be visible from the front side of the shirt.
After that you're done!
