are there any good guides to hemming necklines and sleeves?
I can't sew a t shirt neckline to save my life

[Anonymous No.12089438]

>>12089415

what do you mean?

generally you wouldn't hem a t-shirt neck-line, you'd attach a collar to the raw edge instead.

hemming sleeves: fold the raw edge in twice, press the crease with an iron, pin in place. remove the base platform from your sewing machine so that you can sew in the round, and sew the hem in place. you'll notice that many t-shirts will have either a serge/overlock or two rows of straight stitches in order to secure the hem.

tapering jeans is extremely easy especially if the jeans fit how you want in the thigh area. with a sewing machine and a straight edge you can taper a pair of pants in like 10 mins even as a beginner.

Hey man, these are great. Where did you find the fabric (sorry if you answered that earlier in the thread.)

That one is pretty bad, but it can be done well. Better if you're actually covering it in local scene stuff imo, but to each their own.

You could scan it and then edit it to create a transparency for printing if you really wanted that very specific image, but unless you're gonna digitally print it it's probably gonna look off.

>>12105811
Definitely gonna suggest the industrial machine if you're gonna sew over fat seams. You could avoid those spots and hand finish them if you really felt like it, or just chance a messy seam if you don't.

I'm not sure. When I use my overlock machine you don't see the stitch on the right side of your fabric.

[Anonymous No.12108889]

>>12108739

it depends how the stitch is oriented and being used, doesn't it?

if you're using an overlock to join two pieces of fabric at their edges, on the right side you will not see the stitch, as you say, just the seam where the fabrics come together.

if, however, you use an overlock to secure a flat hem, like a fabric folded over onto itself, don't you end up with the two rows of what appear to be straight stitches on the right side?

grab a t-shirt that has hemmed sleeves. look at how the hem is secured, you'll see what looks like two rows of straight stitches on the right side. turn it over, and you'll see that it's an overlock.

update: maybe you're right, and maybe what i'm talking (the stitch that looks like two straight stitches on right side and overlock on wrong side) about is a type of stretch stitch?

If you want to make the same in a way that it looks good on silkscreen, you should re-make this on plastic sheets so that every colour will have it's own sheet (like that you can see all of them on top of each other). The scan will never work, sorry (you will not manage to separate the colours nor make the lines clean due to the denim). You'll have to make a separate screen out of every colour. Ask a friend who has an access to a silkscreening workshop for details, or alternatively small fablab-type of a place.

T-shirts are pretty straight forward to make, you can probably get a pattern from Amazon, then all you need to do is cut out the size you want and pin it to some fabric. If a start is what you're looking for this might be an option
