Circle Knit Shirt Tutorial

Post by Raechel of www.raechelmyers.com So. I have a favorite shirt. Anyway, I wear it with a long tank top, leggings and either boots or black Toms, depending on the weather. So, I worked this week on developing a 2T-sized version of my shirt. What you’ll need: The fabric piece I used was knit (you want a drapey fabric), and was 20″ wide and 34″ long. Also, you’ll need a sewing machine. Get your fabric piece laid out on your cutting board, folded on the top so it looks 21″x17″. There. (That’s a fold on the top – you want your rectangle intact!) This might be a good time to tell you how to measure for a size other than 2T… How to measure for your own sizing: Width: Arms straight out, you want the sleeves to fall just on the hand-side of your elbow. Length: For length, you’ll have to pardon my sailor language, but you want the front and back them to land right about at the crotch. Neck: And for the neck – I don’t like huge neck holes on little people, it just looks like a worn out onesie.

Cut out the pieces: Front (Cut one fabric, one interlining, one lining): Cut with straight edge on the fold Back (Cut two fabric, two interlining, two lining): Cut with straight edge on the selvedge The sewing: Lining: 1) Using a 1/2" seam allowance, sew the front to the backs. 2) Turn back edges under (to the wrong side) about 1/8" then about 3/8" to form casings for bones. I used artificial whalebone for the center back and spiral steel for the side and front boning. 5) Insert boning. The Outer Layer: 1) Stitch interlining to fabric, wrong sides together. For quilting. To put the corset together: Trim as desired! Shieldmaiden Home
