Sew three t-shirts into three cooler t-shirts with no waste and a good profit margin! Or, take three small t-shirts and make one large one. In this video, I'll also show you how to make a t-shirt sleeve bigger, how to lower the neck of a t-shirt, how to quickly change the thread in your serger, and how to use a twin needle.
Thanks to @Thestyleinsider. and colvilleofficial.com for the inspo! Here's the video that inspired me: https://youtu.be/rosrEY7hvIo?si=hQP6_g3wj0xKNGm4
