Make the Perfect T Shirt | Stellan Tee Pattern Hack

Ready to sew the "perfect" T-shirt? In this video, I’ll walk you through my favourite sewing techniques for a beautifully finished tee, including my go-to method for binding the neck edge. I’m using the Stellan Tee pattern (link below) from French Navy, a free downloadable pattern that’s simple, modern, and endlessly customizable. If you haven’t already seen my older video where I show how to customize the fit of the Stellan Tee (link below), be sure to watch that first! I’ll show you how I adapted the pattern to get the ideal shape, especially at the neckline and hem. Once your pattern is dialed in, come back to this tutorial for expert tips on sewing it up with clean, professional results.
