adding v neck to a tshirt?

Question

i have an ordinary tshirt .. the neck is round. what's the best way of turning it into a v neck and how to best stop the fabric curling? i'd like it to look shop finished if i can. i'm reasonably good with sewing skills. it is 100% cotton.

thanks!

Answer 1

Iron on a piece of interfacing to stabilize, then Cut your V. Fold the edges under twice so that the raw edge is hidden. Use a double needle or sew two rows of stitching very close together for a hem.

Answer 2

Ok, try this. On another shirt of the same color and fabric. Cut the middle out (going around the torso) about 1 or two 2inches depending on the hem size. After this fold the strip in half. Now cut your shirt at the desired V length.Next turn the shirt inside out and place your strip to the edge of the newly cut V. Now you can simply make the necessary corrections and make a hem covering the strip (Thus the strip will be hidden inside the hem). This should give you the desired look you were hoping for.

Good luck!

Answer 3

cut the neck into the shape you want and then use a hemming machine to hem on the edge where you cut it i am not sure it will work but it is worth a try

Answer 4

Go buy a v-neck shirt.
