Need Help In Making V-Neck T-shirt

Anybody ????

'V-neck'

Did you look at Google for "converting round necks to V-necks"  and "jackets
from sweatshirts"?  You may find lots of help.

The way I have done this in the past for my daughters,  I make certain to
find the center front of the shirt after ripping off the band and carefully
recut the neckline following any V-neck pattern for a knit garment, make
certain you can pull it on over your head.  Then make a band of knit ribbing
and carefully sew it on, lapping over at the V.  Somewhere I had the
directions, but can't find them at the moment.  Several books, such as the
Simplicity Sewing Book has the directions for putting on the bands.  EASY
SEWING the Kwik-Sew Way also has clear cut directions  and is well
illustrated.
Several of the big 4 pattern companies have patterns for converting
sweatshirts into jackets.  Most of them have some appliqué designs to add to
the jackets.  I know I have a McCall's that is nearly 20 years old.
I am not affiliated with any of the above companies what so ever, I just
have copies of both books mentioned.

those books.

If you look through the archives of this group on google, you'll find a
discussion of just this subject that came up in the last 2 - 3 months -
sorry can't remember exactly when it was.

What, you mean you aren't just sitting in front of your computer 24/7
waiting to answer sewing-related questions???  ;->

Hey, don't worry about it - personally I check once a day unless I'm
away. I can't and won't check more often than that.

Hope that thread Bev and I directed you to helps.
