The sewing part of the tutorial starts at 5:00
(It's very good and thorough. Recommend watching. You just don't need to watch the first five minute if you already have a pattern)

Hand basting is almost a must for these v neckbands! Always turns out great!

You have taught this soon-to-be sixty year old lady sooo much! Love your energy, your voice, and how you explain what and why you are doing what you are doing! Just goes to show you, “Old dogs can learn new tricks.” Thank you for sharing your talent!

I am so proud of myself, I made my first V-neckline 😀

Thank you for this video. I just sewed a V-neck on a t-shirt with this method. The hand basting made a world of difference. I got the neckline in perfectly on the first try!

Very helpful. I can tell you've done this many times; the way you draw those smooth curves without hesitation shows lots of experience.

You are such a delightful person and an excellent seamstress. I enjoy watching all your videos

Once again, I Thank you so much for your amazing tutorials. You have great energy, but not over the top. I also love how quick and to the point you are. Not too chatty. You inspire me to give everything a try. Thanks again!

Thank you so much Alisa! Great timing as always - I’m just about to make up some new T-shirts. I’ve been sewing for more than 50 years and haven’t seen such a simple and effective way of how to add a v neck to jersey fabric. As a full busted woman, I do find that the slightly wider neckline, and rounded v shape is so much more flattering for me. (A tight short v shape is not flattering on heavy busts and a round neckline is the same).
This is so helpful, and I’m off to make a start. Thank you so much for your precise and gentle teaching method - it unlocks the creativity of so many of us, and you give us wings to try new techniques all the time. Most precious lady ❤

I love watching different techniques of achieving the same result in sewing. I always learn something from your videos, even though I have been sewing for at least 45 years!

@ellenkeough6431 2 years ago

Excellent instructions. Having a different color neck band made the visuals easier to understand. Basting makes a lot of sense; it doesn’t take that long and ensures success. Time to sew my vneck!

FINALLY!!! I've watched a number of videos on 'how to create a V neck. Some of the videos that I have watched are so complicated that I just hit the 'x'. Your video has made this super simple !!! I will be attacking a T shirt tomorrow. Your videos are great and easy to follow and understand - I love them ! Thank you !!!

I have been having trouble with my neck bands lately. So, I revisited this video and walked through your steps (yes, even the hand basting) while completing my latest shirt. I usually convert crew necks to a V-neck. I think I just got sloppy with my measuring. Because this shirt came out perfect. I am a fan of topstitching. That is the only thing I did different. Your work from 2 years ago really helped me today. Thanks for the help.
