T-Shirt Shrink Down Now Available
Yesterday, I talked a bit about tutorials being added to the Sewing Republic website. I wound up subscribing to the RSS feed so I know when the site is updated and guess what popped up in my Bloglines last night? A new tutorial - mine! Up on the site now is a video tutorial of my project, the T-Shirt Shrink Down. There is also a PDF available so you can have the written directions in front of you as you work.
If you wind up using this tutorial to shrink down some of your oversized t-shirts, drop me an email and send me a picture. I'd love to see everyone's new creations!

Hooray! The video looks amazing! I can't wait to give this a try--I have a slew of those boxy, oversized tees that need shrinking down.

I'm sure lots of sewers will find your tutorial very inspiring! Great work and that is a great way to repurpose an old t-shirt too!

Super tutorial! I may use it to shrink in the sleeve/shoulder area, but keep the lower half loose and long for a tunic look.

Wow, I never woulda thought of that. When I read the title of the tutorial I kept wondering how it would be done. Thinking there was some magical way with washing or something to shrink it! (Like you use the blowdryer on that shrinking clear paper on baskets) Duh!! It never occured that you were sewing it down to size. That's cool to have your tutorial posted like that.

Good job on the video, Stacy. This is simple and easy to understand. I'm not a Tshirt person, but it never fails that now and then you sometimes end up with one of these large or extra large Ts finding their way into your closet. Now I'll know just what to do with them (aside from using them as dust rags) Bravo!
