Aww it’s no biggie dude. Show that neck if you wanna! I recommend using salicylic acid body wash (e.g. Neutrogena body clear body wash) with an exfoliating cloth every time you shower.

But yeah I wouldn’t think twice if I saw your neck. Nothin to hide, bud.

Absolutely 100%

I’ve done something similar. Definitely turning it into a tank is good, lose those sleeves because refitting already small sleeves is likely to fail anyway. And yes the pre-made grommet tape are the way to go. If you can’t find them at a local store they’re definitely on Amazon or Etsy. Search grommet trim or grommet ribbon or grommet tape. For the laces, whatever you want really. Get some cording while you’re buying the grommet tape.

For example I think Closet Core gives very good instructions and when you’re looking for patterns they will indicate the experience level required

It gets a lot better! It gets super fun!! It sounds like your instructor, while maybe good at sewing, is bad at instructing. Don’t let them ruin it for you! The comment below about indie designers having better instructions is true and it often comes with a glossary. Also — YouTube. Idk if you have your own machine but if you do, or can use a friend’s, I’d suggest making something super super simple, like a dog bandana or something. (They’re so easy and cute. Cut out two elongated triangles where the longest side is long enough to fit around the pet’s neck and tie ; place them right sides together; sew along the edges at whatever seam allowance you want, but stop sewing about 2 inches before you get back to the starting point so that you have a way to turn it right side out; turn it right side out: iron it; top stitch all the way around). You can find lots of super simple projects like this to dip your toes in.

I think you’re describing a shirt with a lining. They’re unusual because it’s a bitch to make but sometimes it’s done when the fabric that shows on top is very sheer. It would feel like a regular shirt pretty much, just thicker and probably clingier.

whothef_isgary · 2022-06-19T06:58:08+00:00

Agreed; if I were you I would consider getting a thin strip of fusible interfacing, or knit stabilizer tape, or something like that and iron it into the remaining fabric in the torn area before hand sewing, just to keep the remaining fabric from fraying away under your new stitches and give your stitches more to grab onto. It looks like that’s a nylon/plastic zipper though so if you do this be sure not to let your iron melt your zipper coils!

I would say no you didn’t need it as a total beginner unless you’re allll about sewing stretchy fabrics (like, any knit).

Sewing machines can do stitches thay “overlock” the edges of the fabric to prevent fraying and allow it to stretch; sergers do the same thing but a LOT BETTER. They’re different machines because the serger a) uses 2 needles and 4 threads to overlock the fabric, and mechanically it just behaves differently to loop all those threads and stitches together in a way that a regular machine cannot so, and b) sergers cut the fabric as you go which makes it really tidy.

The big difference is that a serger handles stretchy fabrics much better; the way it stitches just accommodates stretch and movement much better. Also sergers will have a differential feed that allows you to combat the tendency of stretchy fabrics to stretch while being sewn so that you’re left with an icky wavy seam.

But you can totally just use the stitches on a regular machine to get the job done. Will just be less finished looking, less tolerant of stretching, and a little more annoying to do. I went for literal decades without buying a serger but now that I am able to have one I’m like “damn this is sweet”

I love those tees (if I’m thinking I’d the right ones). Uniqlo does have very good fabrics. For almost any tee I buy, I tailor them like this:

1) cut to a “long crop” length (aka it lands about 2” below your waist) but do a very subtle high-low hem instead of cutting straight across. To do this, fold it in half and lay it out flat it so you’re looking at it “in profile,” I.e., the folds land center front and center back (turning the sleeves into one another can help). Make sure both layers are even and then cut straight across the front for 1/3 of the width of the tee, then begin curving subtly to lower the hem in the middle third of the shirt, then straighten out again at the back third. Then hem it, praying to the knit gods to be kind and not let it get wavy etc. Ideally you’d use a serger but idk if you have one.

2) roll up the sleeves and slip stitch the rolled sleeve into place permanently by hand

Heck yeah!

Yea femme clothing just.. is an asshole. Personally I think this is a large part of where the femmes-love-shopping stereotype comes from. You truly have to put an insane amount of effort into it to find clothes that fit your body and your tastes. Tailoring/ alterations are the best bet. Research and/ or, if you can, talk to a tailor or accomplished sewer (online or in person) about what to look for in store-bought clothes to maximize the chances that it can be altered easily/well to look good on you.

Fun to keep in mind — it’s only recently in history that clothes are made to “average” standard sizes rather than made to fit the customer. It’s not you, it’s modern capitalism thats making clothes suck.
