How to sew a raglan t-shirt: make your own DIY raglan tee sewing tutorial
I've done this a number of times with gently worn T shirts that I stopped wearing ( didn' t like the style, didn't fit, etc. and either skirts from flannel nightgowns where the top had worn out, or pieces of fabric I inherited from my aunt's house or got from the thrift store that were too small to make a dress out of. I started doing this when I needed new nightgowns and they were $20. at Wal-Mart, out of flimsy fabric that would't last long. It makes a nice lounger or house dress, and you can answer the door and not worry. They are nice and roomy and I sleep in them. You could buy new materials to make to wear outside, or for kids.
Absolutely!
Thank you😊
You're welcome 😊
How is the round edge of the join finished?
I use my serger, but you can use a zigzag. If you use a wider seam allowance, you could also press it back on itself and stitch for a cleaner edge.
thank you so much, ive been really intimidated by gathering but this explained it really well!! and i love that you included so many options on how you can do it :)
Next time turn your tape around. Put neckline at 24" and see what's left
Brilliant instructions, worked really well. Thank you!
How did you add the ruffle to your peach t-shirt?
Do you have to use double needles? Great tutorial.
I like your wallpaper. :)
Omygosh. Totally stoked that I can do this without investing in a high priced machine!!!!!
Great tutorial. I did not see the link to the more detailed view of how to get the neckline attached. I searched your channel and could not find it.
Helpful tutorial. Good tips. Question: I am inherited an old sewing machine and am looking to buy a new one. I am between a beginner and intermediate sewer. Which machine would you recommend?? there are so many and am overwhelmed for the choice. many look flimsy.
I bought a used Bernina 1230, excellent but not too complicated. Make sure you try it with thread & fabric before you hand over $.
so smart! I don't have a window this big but this would be amazing if I did!
Smart❤
Cute idea and well explained :)
Nice ! Thanks.
GREAT video!!! thank you so much!
Hi Elizabeth love your background and your storage for your material will do the same thanks for sharing.
This free pattern is still available when you sign up for the newsletter. I just got mine, will be using this video to help me! ❤
Thank you for the tutorial! I was having an issue with my neckline being too big and your way is genius!
I hope you make so more videos this was great
Great video😊
Great tutorial 😊
Thank you. It looks great. I love the fabric stamp idea too! It looks a great design. Thanks for sharing x
👗🥂
I'm gonna try this! Perfect for the people in my life. Thank you for your upbeat video, you are a great teacher.
This a wonderful idea!! Thanks for sharing this!! ❤
Did the video jump from stitching the rib to bias tape?
I was just trying to find a way to not get strangled by my tshirts and wow! Your technique seems perfect. The front neckline is flawless. While your work impressed me (and is too advanced for me 😬) I was touched by all the beautiful comments. Seems lots of people missed you and have been thinking about you. You’ve achieved a true sense of community here. Wishing you and everyone blessings on your collective journey.
I'm going to try tomorrow!
Hey can i ask what machine did you use can I stitch names with my normal sewing machine I must just but those tools
I have a Janome. You could stitch names, but it will be difficult and probably require having to stitch very slowly, at which point, I'd do it with hand embroidery. Stitching letters is one thing that machines with embroidery capabilities are very good at and is difficult to replicate.
@ElizabethMadeThisSEW thank you 😊
love these
First time on your channel. I am very impressed with your tutorial. You are so thorough with nothing but details! I LOVE how you show your work at the machine. Some people just tell you how to do it by pointing their finger at what needs to be sewn. Then the camera picks up from that point on. No, not you. You show ALL of your work and I so much appreciate that, all the while talking your viewers (who many may be beginners) through the entire process with such great learning details! You are a great teacher and I of course have subscribed and liked the video.
Hola!, es muy bonito, cómo hiciste para que la pintura no se salga al lavar? Grazie 🤗🌷🌷🌷🌷🌸
What did you think of the online instructions? I'm like a total beginner and really need an easy project and slow pace.
I hold mine down with a pencil with the eraser down on it
Smart!
It's ok
I have a cuper cute t-shirt my daughter loves but it got a hole in it. So we're cutting it into a dress!
What a terrific idea! Love it and will DO IT!
Thank you for making this so easy to understand and for making sure we could actually see what you're doing. This was extremely helpful.❤
You are so welcome!
What machine do you use? Seems to be a very good one..
Perfect! Just sewed myself a muslin shirt. Going to do on real deal!❤
You got this!
Going to try dental floss. Use 2 row, long stitch method typically. TY for this great video!❤
Hey Nanci! I just made a dress for my little lady with the long stitches, and I was kicking myself for not pulling out the dental floss (face palm!). It just makes the nicest, most even gathers.
I wasn’t able to receive my free pattern I signed up for the newsletter
You'll have to check with Megan Nielsen. This pattern used to be available when you signed up for their newsletter, but that may not be the case.
Super cute I have been seeing a girl on TikTok making these for adults and I need to make a few! I love wearing t-shirts and I love wearing dresses. Will try to add in seam pockets, too!
Adding pockets is a great next step addition to these!
I want to say a HUGE THANK you for your brilliant video. Ive sewn for 50plus years, saw the Burrito method on The Great British Sewing Bee, a while ago, and your video is so easy to follow and I made my first burrito yoke for a shirt for my husband's birthday. Thanks again. xxpeta
Glad to help!
Thank you for this video, its a lifesaver, I had been staring at my pattern instructions for 20 minutes trying to comprehend what it wanted me to do with the yoke, now i get it!
