Tutorials — 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!

In fact, I used only Apostrophe Patterns to make my...
