Measuring for a v-neck or scoop neck is an essential step when cutting the neck out of an old t-shirt. To get the perfect fit, start by stretching the fabric to gauge how much depth and shape you want your new neckline to have. Trace around this pattern with tailor’s pencil or pins, and use sewing scissors to cut along it.
Straight lines are best for V-necks, while curved lines work best for scoops. With some patience and practice, anyone can master these subtle yet effective modifications.
