In this episode of WIP Wednesday Vanessa is sharing a demo about how to measure a neckline to cut and attach a knit neckband to finish it off. This is something you can do to the Jalie Emilie pattern if you do not need the roll neck. It would be a great way to practice and make your own long sleeved t-shirt using this pattern.
If fears and doubts are holding you back from beginning (or restarting!) your garment sewing journey we can help! Tune in today and learn how Vanessa’s straight forward teaching approach has helped thousands of students over the years. You can sew clothes, too!
Tune in LIVE and hear Vanessa’s tips and answers to viewer questions!
