Instructions

Sew the Neckline of T-shirts

1

Trim the ribbing if needed to make it 1/2 inch wider than you want the finished collar band. The finished edge of the ribbing will be the upper edge of the neckline.
2

Trim the ribbing if needed to make it 1/2 inch longer than you want the finished collar band.
3

Pin the short ends of the ribbing together. Stitch along the short edges using 1/4 inch seam allowance.
4

Pin the unfinished (bottom) edge of the ribbing to the top of the t-shirt neck opening. Make sure to put the seam in the ribbing in the back of the t-shirt, where it won’t show very much.
5

Stitch the ribbing to the t-shirt using 1/2 inch seam allowance. Turn the ribbing right side up and press the seam flat.
6

Topstitch along the seam to hold the ribbing in place if needed.
