- Sewing a T-shirt is easier than you might think!
You don't need a fancy sewing machine or an expensive pattern. You just need fabric and I'll show you how to do the rest!
If you need additional help with the neckline, watch my follow-up video:

I'm a 37 male who use to work at a tuxedo shop where light sewing was needed. My grandmother use to sew and it has been a wonderful memory and skill I love. Thank you for a wonderful tutorial and guidance. On my way today to buy a sewing machine. Wish I had a mother or wife like you. Thank you again. Now time to binge watch all your videos :))
I love your channel!! I'm a beginner and literally taught myself here on TH-cam and I so happy I found your channel. My granddaughters 7 & 9 are also beginners and they are so PROUD of themselves for making their own T-shirt's from the clearance racks of women's tshirts!! Thank you Dana!!
Oh good! Awesome! :) Dana
I love these tutorials. I have been sewing for at least 45 years. I am a seamstress and costume designer so I sew pretty much all day everyday. I do have a little tip I have found that works great with ribbed necklines. If you divide the neckline in 4ths. Pin the middle front and pin the middle back. But on the shoulder seams pin it 1/8 to 1/4 in in front of the shoulder seam. Depending on how low your front neckline is. The front is lower so it makes mor sense having a little more stretch there. Just a little tip I find that makes it lay nicer. Thanks for all of your work!
Wait what?
@@aubreysnyder9216😂😂😂
you truly did a great job im just a kid but im starting sewing and I love how the camera is showing all of the the I need to see
I dear, I'm a beginner and love your tutorials, they are really easy to understand and very encouraging, especially for people like me. Thanks a lot
I thank God for the gift He gave you and thank you for sharing it with us . I can't wait to try to do the tee shirt
I’m brand new to sewing, and new to motherhood, and your channel has me SO EXCITED and inspired to make some clothes for my daughter. I finally feel like I can do this! Thank you!!
Ahhh, this is a perfect video! I love how you showed how to make a pattern. I also love how your free pattern is in 4T. I have an almost 3 year old so I can make this shirt and she can wear it baggy until it fits properly. :D
I love how all of your sewing tutorials are using a basic sewing machine and not a serger ! It's refreshing~
Thanks! It's nice to know how to do both ways! Thanks for watching :) Dana
I SO GLAD THERE ARE PEOPLE LIKE YOU!!! KEEP THE GREAT ATTITUDE THAT YOU HAVE. IM A MAN AND YOU JUST MADE ME WANT TO LEARN MORE ABOUT SEWING!!! By the way VERY COOL T- SHIRT!!!
bgoins3000 haha. Thanks so much! - Dana
I love how you explain clearly and you show us hands on and up close so we wont be confused. Love your videos :)
Jaiya Brown Thanks Jaiya!
I like how you are so confident when you're cutting the fabric
For me I have to go slow and make sure everything is even
Don't forget to either zigzag your seams to prevent raveling... PS: you can also use a serger, but to keep cost down, zigzag... Love Your Tutorial...
Knit fabric doesn't unravel, only woven fabric does. It does look more finished though
So much info here. I really need this. Takes the scary out of using an existing garment to redo size or style a bit. Thanks for keeping it simple and for posting.
I've been wanting to learn how to sew and you actually taught me a lot out of all the videos i've watched. You explain very well, thank you!
hi iv been a professional seamstress for over 22 years and i think the way you sew and explain thinks are great . i now work for myself and the way you work is great for the home studio when you dont have all the industrial machine that im use to using

Jess the Dragoness Thanks Jess! There's more to come!.... - Dana
I can't wait to start helping out my daughter with making some basic clothes for my grandchildren. The expense of everything these days is so high, I'm hoping I can help out!
loved this! I don't have any kids to make this shirt for but I will be applying the tutorial to adult tshirts! your videos are so happy and inspiring and you make it so simple to follow!!
Thank you Dana, this is awesome, am watching ALL your TH-cam video's and am so inspired. Made some pants for my son and couldn't believe it was ME that made them! So easy. Thanks for your tutorials.
The reason I love your channel so much is you make such daunting projects seem so simple, and the way you instruct us how to create it makes it actually doable! I really love your channel, I hope you keep posting!

I believe this video is for beginners or those who want to learn a different and simple way to sew a child's tee... I like the tutorial and find it helpful.... Thank you for making these videos, I'm watching and I'm not a beginner...
im a beginner. the only thing that looked a bit complicated, was the ribbing for the neck xD i couldnt quite see how she placed it to sew it on.
I love how u show your kids at the beginning and end so cute
Audrey Baxter haha. Thanks! They're good sports :) - Dana

Yayy!! So excited for this! I've been following your blog for a few years now and I fell in love with the tutorials from day one. They really got me motivated with sewing, repurposing, and trying new things. So it's great to now see those tutorials come to life. Thanks so much for this and I look fwd to seeing more.
thanks . huge problem second guessing myself when it comes to necklines and elastic. you make it effortless. lurv it
Just started sewing!!!!🥰
Omg thank you. I’m so scared to sew knit fabric but now I might try it!!
its really cool how you can make a small t-shirt out of a big t-shirt.
I know right, waste of time and energy, just get the right size one at the start
I love how fast pace this video is.

You are amazing, Dana! I'm a beginner at sewing, but you just made my life easier. :D I learned so much about sewing just by watching your videos. Keep on rockin'! :)
Amazing video, Dana! I'm a beginner; I just got a sewing machine from my husband! This is really going to help in converting his shrinking t-shirts into shirts for my boys!
So so helpful!!! Thank you❤❤❤❤💕💕

Nice tip.I am new to your site but I am enjoying it. I am a large woman which makes finding clothes a challenge. I am losing weight though. This information will help me make my own clothes as I lose. Can't wait to see more tips.Thanks
Awesome tutorials, I'm learning to sew and couldn't have a better instructor 😉
Your very talented, and give easy steps to keep along without getting lost
I grew up near the original Singer sewing machine factory in Clydebank, Scotland. In 1982, it shut down IIRC. Those sewing machines were fairly ubiquitous when I was growing up!
You make it look so easy. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to one day making at least one t-shirt for each of my little boys.
Thanks for the wonderful tutorial !!
I can make twenty after watching this! Thank you SO much for such amazing video!
I am sewing a t shirt for myself right now and you have helped me so much! Thank you!

You are a ray of sunshine 🌞 🤩
Dana, I think you are absolutely Wonderful! You make sewing so simple. I used to sew years ago, and I am just now picking it back up, and you are teaching me so much. Kudos to you and your work! :)
Dana!!! I LO VE YOU!! Thanks for everything. You are a true inspiration!
So glad you have a channel now. I love your patterns but have been too chicken to try the t shirt. Neckholes and sleeves - YIKES! But you make it look so easy.
go for it! remember that it's just fabric and you can always toss it in the trash and start over if you need to! Sewing is always an adventure :)
You are such a blessing! THANK YOU!!!

I know this video is over 5 years old but our spirit animals just met
hahahah. YESSSSSS.
Really good :)
I like the kind how you explain everything. It´s easy to understand and your English is also very clear which is good for people who don´t speak English as their first language (like me, cause I´m from Germany ;) )
i like you thought the neck ribbing was ready made lol lol now i know what to look for and not only that. i have a better idea now of how to make a t-shirt. Thank you. x
Thanks for your tutorial.You are a great teacher!
Thanks! :)
this video gave me so much serotonin
DIY artist salute on you guys. Watching from UAE.
I love your videos! watch them everyday. I'm a beginner, I learned how to make a skirt for my daughter watching your other video. Thanks!!
Cool, but i wouldnt recomnend sewing over pins :(
Geraldine Lombardo for real 😂 I learned that mistake the hard way needle flew off and flew past my eye it almost would have stabbed me!!
It hard to sew without those pins specially if its stretchable.
Sewing over pins the way she did, where they're perpendicular to the seam you're sewing, is actually fine and a super handy trick. The needle just slips over them You're absolutely right about sewing over pins when they're in the same direction as the seam, though.
;( yea
True
You are AWESOME!!! I can't find shirt for my little boy 1 year so I will make them, shorts and lightweight pants this year.
Been a fan of your blog for a few years now,and I'm so Excited for you!... and us, your Fans. This is AWESOME!!! Can't wait to see what your next video will be about!
Really great video, Dana! It's so professional. Your talent, organization, simplicity, fun personality, and all the work you do to keep us informed make you every seamstress' best friend (whether we're beginners or not). It's great to get to see you in action and hear your voice, too. Congratulations on your new channel!

Aisha Alhumodi Thank you Aisha! - Dana
This is very helpfull for someone just starting in the sewing universe, like me.
+wuala guala Awesome! Welcome to the sewing world :) - Dana
Thanks so much for showing this! I am self teaching myself with the help of youtube to sew., How ever I wish you would have showed that the open end of the collar needs to be up!! Some of us beginners need a more complete demonstration!
I love your channel! I found it to be extremely helpful
I'm new to sewing and wow! You make everything look so easy. I love the way you explain things. I can totally follow your instructions. Thanks :)
😭😭😭 I'm in love with sewing 😍
Thought I would write this so everyone can laugh at my expense. I printed out the pattern and cut page 1 and 2, cut out the fabric and started to sew and I thought um that looks a bit small, then it wasn't until I watched your video again, plonker me I hadn't cut out page 3 and stuck it to the bottom of Page 1. So now I'm going to attempt it again. HA HA lol Love your video Dana and thank you for sharing
Nice, but I can't understand how you did the neckline!
Anastasia Pisani yeah goes bit too fast
I know this is an older video but, as I see it, just find the quarters of the band and the neck and pin them and then, if needed, center of those pinned quarters, etc. Much like any matching, except the band is a bit smaller than the shirt neck, so carefully stretch to fit as you sew..... My question is how do you finish it? I know this video is trying to keep things simple so... love that but, I might like to top stitch it to keep it from rolling, etc. Don't think my older machine will take a double needle but, would you recommend a single 'top' stitch, some 1/8th in from the seam? How would you finish the neck?
You can slow it down. Go to settings... the little cog at the bottom and click on a slower mode. Can also pause and go back.
I can
I got the first part but how was it folded over to finish it off?
love this tutorial! instructions are simple,clear and strait to the point. Thank you so much:)
Just found your web site, love it, will be making a girls skirt, with top and boys shorts and tea shirt. Thank you for motivating me again.
Your content and video edit quality is impeccable. Your sewing skills are amazing as well. I am 27 and havnt used a sewing machine since 8th grade in school. We made pillow cases. I've been wanting to make clothes for my two little children. My main goal is to make a beautiful Disney princess dress for me and my daughter.
Awesome! Yay!! I'm sure you can do it :) Thanks for the comment Tiffany - Dana
omg. it's just amazing video.. I love it. my daughter is almost 2 years old. I would like to see her a dress. if you can show it this would be great ... thanks
Love your videos, they are easy to understand. I sew all kinds of fabrics, would love to see a video on different knit sleeves on t-shirts, such tulip sleeves, long sleeves, cap sleeves, etc. I would also like to see how to color block on knits. Thanks!
I really like your way of speaking .your videos r easy to follow.thankyou.love from india😍😍
This really looks easy to make and I will try it very soon. I love all your videos, they are so useful. Thank you so much for sharing.
More, more, I want more! lol
Great videos. Very simple and easy to follow for an absolute beginner like me. Thank you.
So happy that you're making videos now! Great tutorial!
Im so happy to find you!!! Thanks for the very basic and interesting tutorials!!!
👏👏👏so exited about your channel. I've been sewing your shorts pattern for years, can't wait to see that on your channel. I've always been afraid to make a shirt but this vid blew all my fears away. Thank you!!!
the sound of your scissors cutting through the fabric is just soooo satisfying...
genius! I love your new channel. So odd to actually hear your voice after reading your blog for so long. Can't wait for more videos.
This is the best tutorial I've ever seen in my life thank you for sharing it helps a lot muwaah
