When I first experienced mail shopping years and years ago, my eyes were set on this white T. It looked so cute on the catalog and would be a perfect fit for a petite gal like me. But upon receiving the package, I was beyond words disappointed to find that this T was not even wearable with the crazy low neck line.
Anyone in her right mind would have just thrown it in the donation bin. But I have had a really hard time tossing it away. Every time I looked at this T, I thought, perhaps I could fix this one day. So, it stayed in my closet for years and years. Until...
I was taking the bags of donated clothing to the curb to be collected the next morning, and I saw a brand new oversize white T-shirt that my son put in the bag. Ah-ha!
A. Fold the strip over to wrap the raw edge of gathered line (as a bias tape) and baste.
B. Stitch in place.
C. Lay the finished piece on top of T to determine the placement for the new neckline.
D. Tug the piece inside the T and pin in place. Sew along the original neck line seam to secure it.
Now I could finally put this T on!

Hi, found you at the Winthrop Chronicles party... cute and clever idea for those super low neckline Ts.
