sewingHey everyone!
I am a total noob. In fact, I will soon touch a sewing machine for the first time in my life. So I apologize ahead of time for any blunders I make. Hopefully it won't be too bad.
I am planning on refitting some t-shirts this weekend using this YouTube video tutorial. However, I also need to bring in the shoulders. The seam hits about an inch or so below my shoulders, which makes the sleeves too long. I could just take up the sleeves, yet I worry that it'll cause the shirt to look awkward. Does anyone have any tutorials/advice on taking up the shoulders of a shirt?
Also, if anyone has any easy beginner tutorials they'd like to share I'd love to hear them.
Thank you for your time and attention.
