Home renovations and mini projects that make a big difference. Accessible to beginner level DIY-ers. Sharing projects I'm excited about as a homebody who values their home as a haven of ultimate comfort and personal growth.
Just make it shorter. The ripple edge on a crop is a style from the 00's so youve done well. Also you can just hem it shorter to make a standard crop....you left plenty of length for that too! ❤
If you take out the hem, reswew it and stretch it more as you sew. This will make a "lettuce leaf" ruffle effect. Trim off the sleeve hems and do the same there If you want to change the neckline, carefully cut off 1/-2/3 of the neck fabric close to the stitching, leaving the stitching in place. Fold the fabric and stitch line to the inside of the neckhole and stitch over that. Your neckline will be larger, more like a ladies' tee.
Usually t-shirts don’t need a hem! Cut it, stretch it, it’ll roll up a bit and you’re ready to wear it, if you want to hem it look into stretch needles and a walking foot for your sewing machine and let the machine do the work don’t pull on it at all (I’d even suggest pushing gently from the front of you want) and it should warp a lot less
Hi! I studied fashion design and I can tell you that you did not ruin it! You can use a seam ripper to remove the hem stitches and try again. In case you still want to create a hem, I would iron the hem first and make sure you measure it to make it even. Furthermore, I would use matching thread so that it creates a more seamless look. Stitching knitted fabric is always a little more challenging than woven fabric since it is stretchier and can warp like it did here. If you stitch on it, try not to pull on it when adjusting it. Another suggestion is that if you want it to be even, I would measure from the bottom up (give yourself some allowance for the hem so that it doesn’t become too short), and cut on a table instead of on your body. You can do it!
@@HomenInspire I sew a lot and if I were you I would have bought a twin needle, or done a zigzag stitch. I only use straight seams on non stretch fabric since a straight seam doesnt stretch and the result is often that the fabric puckers like it did for you in the video. If you use a zigzag stitch it wont pucker because of the seam not being stretchy, and with a matching thread it will still look fine. A twin needle does however give you zigzag on the inside and a straight seam on the outside. The zigzag provides the stretch and the straight seam on the outside gives a professional finish.
I was expecting for it to blend a little better, but it does look better. It's one of those things where no one who came over would notice, but I would every single day and it would drive me crazy 😅
Thanks for your video. It looks like you have aluminum wiring in your house though (I have the same in mine). You are not supposed to join aluminum and copper together without something like an Alumiconn connector. Oxidation will occur and put you at risk of an electrical fire. Thanks and be safe!
