Description
From their Oregon studios, the Tilton sisters share decades of design and sewing experience, showing you how to modify and sew a T-shirt pattern for a flattering fit. You’ll approach knits with confidence, from choosing and cutting out fabric to sewing stable seams and finishing edges for a polished look. Learn the ingenious secret of easing in sleeves and choose between two collar types. Follow along as the sisters construct the basic T-shirt, then show how to modify it and make it your own. Put your imagination to work – you’ll want to make a dozen!
