You can also find some knit fabrics in online stores like, , and spoonflower. Avoid t-shirts that are stiff/cheap because the fabric will be itchy on your child, which means they’ll never wear the finished product. When purchasing Tees from a Thrift-store always rub your fingers over the fabric to make sure it’s soft enough to wear. Check thrift stores, retail store clearance racks (like Target and Old Navy), or raid your husband’s drawer (asking permission of course) for good T-shirt fabric options. When it comes to finding cool knits, fabric shops are often limited which is why most of us turn to an old Men’s T-shirt for fabric. NOTE: if you prefer sewing knits with a serger definitely use it for all the steps! Personally, I like to sew with my standard machine first and then finishing off my seams with a serger because it allows more room for error (the serger cuts the fabric edge as you sew).

Don’t let that stop you! But just keep in mind that if you plan to sew more knits in the future….you may want to upgrade your machine a bit. Of course I’ve found that people who feel frustrated sewing with knits are often using a lower-end machine, which is fine. You don’t need a serger or fancy sewing machine to sew with knits. If you’ve never sewing with knits, check out my detailed Sewing with Knits post HERE. When you’re done you should have 3 finished pattern pieces. Remember, do not cut on the dotted line…unless you plan to make a MUSCLE TEE. Do this for both the Front and Back pattern pieces, then cut out the sleeve piece as well. Tape on the front and back of the pages, then cut out the entire pattern piece. Cut along the top line of the pattern piece on page two and line it up with the bottom line of the pattern piece on page one and tape them together.Where you do want to line up the first two pages is on the pattern lines themselves.These are not meant to overlay each other, or to match up with the pattern lines.
