Sewing with Knits: Basic T-Shirt

Sew your own basic t-shirt! This wardrobe staple is remarkably easy to make once you've learned the basics of sewing with knits from our expert garment instructor, Beth Galvin. She will help you get the perfect fitting T-shirt so you can make one for every day of the week!

We love the Renfrew Top from Sewaholic because you can choose from a few different style options. If you're a more curvy girl, you may prefer to go with the stylish Concord T-shirt from Cashmerette. If you want a tee with a little more detail, you could pick the Chai Tee from Oliver + S.

For men, we recommend the Strathcona Henley by Thread Theory.
