My *Unconventional* Way of Sewing a T-shirt 👕WITHOUT a Serger

Soooo, You want to sew a t-shirt? And don't have a serger (or maybe it is broken), no problem! In this video I take you through the steps to constructing my (amazing) UNCONVENTIONAL t-shirt and I show you my techniques *that seem a little backwards* but it I wanted to show you that you can still sew a really cool t-shirt without using a serger. Although having a serger is handy, your domestic sewing machine can do a pretty good job of sewing knits - even with a straight stitch (depending on the stretch of your fabric of course). You can even combine some of the stitches if you really want to resemble a serger look.

CLASSY AF 🤩 Yes this is fabulous to see how you sew an actual design that you actually wear. Love seeing something unconventional yet still achievable. And thanks for sharing how you changed your mind about the zigzag stitch - so reassuring and interesting!

It's a great privilege to learn from you Faren, I will definitely try a t shirt with these. Can't thank you enough.

I do like the evolved flat felled and French seams. But as personal preference, I do not like the zig zag stitch showing around the hem. Good job!
I appreciate you for all the info you share free.

You and your sewing are awesome! (Or is that is?. 🤔) I love that you give only the necessary details! You’re t-shirt is beautiful!I You’re right, we always strive for perfection, but we realize adaptability increases the learning. I just found you, and I’m pretty late to the party, but feel like it’s important to tell you that I really appreciate all your effort! I’ll keep liking and watching! Thank you!

Also ironing a pressing line over an acrylic ruler to make sure the line is straight = brilliant 💯 any tips for making sure I don't damage my quilting rulers?

is there a difference from the ball point vs. a stretch sewing needle for the t shirt streach fabric??
