How to make a V neck for your MyFit Tee

The MyFit Tee comes with multiple neckline options, but what if you wanted a V neck instead? This hack is going to be demonstrated using the MyFit Tee, but will work for most T shirt patterns.   It all started with this picture.  I realized I make almost every tee I make into a V-Neck, and I’ve got the process that works for me pretty figured out!

I wanted it to be a fully functioning wrap dress. My hang up- she is a tricky to fit kid. Her chest and waist measurements often put her in a size 2, but at 5 years old-that isn't a deep enough armscye and definitely is missing much needed length. The MyFit Tee was a perfect fix for that! In fact, I used only Apostrophe Patterns to make my...
