Liberty Jane Trendy T-Shirt Pattern For 18-Inch Dolls
Summery of Text Instructions
All seams are sewn with a 1/4" seam allowance, unless otherwise stated. The following instructions
will guide you though the entire process of making a t-shirt. Be sure to read through the instructions
and follow each step. Pressing with steam is a key part to achieving a professional looking outcome
when sewing with knit fabrics. Although a universal needle will work fine for most fabric choices,
depending on your particular knit fabric you may want to try a ball point or stretch needle. A tear away
stabilizer is a great resource for short seams, hems, and neckline areas. A sheet of tissue paper or a
standard coffee filter also work as a tear away stabilizer.
Additionally, If you struggle with sewing knit fabrics be sure to check out the Sewing With Knit Fabrics
Master Class course available on Pixie Faire. It's filled with demonstrations of the above mentioned
tips as well as additional tips and resources all demonstrated in a video format.
1. Place the Front and Back pieces RIGHT side up on your work surface, lining up the shoulder
seamlines.
2. With RIGHT sides together, line up the shoulder seam. Pin through both layers of fabric.
3. Straight stitch along shoulder seam. Back stitch at beginning and end point to secure.
4. Repeat for other shoulder seam.
5. Trim seam allowance to 1/8". Press seam allowances open.
6. With top WRONG side up, fold neckline over 1/4". Press to hold in place.
7. Fold neckline over again at 1/4". Press neckline and pin to hold in place.
8. Pin around the entire neckline.
9. Place the neckline under the presser foot just shy of the 1/4" seam allowance marking.
10. Hold the top and bottom threads firmly as you begin to sew to help guide the fabric as you begin
your straight stitch. Stitch around the entire neckline. Backstitch at both ends.
11. Place the tee on your ironing board and press the neckline with steam to regain the neckline
shape. The finished neckline is pictured above.
12. Place sleeves on your work surface. Turn Sleeve WRONG side up to create hem.
13. Fold Sleeve hem under 1/4". Press. Fold again at 1/4" to create a double turned hem. Pin.
14. Place sleeve hem under the presser foot, just shy of the 1/4" seam allowance marking. Straight
stitch along hemline.
15. Check Sleeve against the pattern piece. Trim off excess length if it has stretched while sewing.
16. Press the Sleeve with steam while shaping it back to the correct form. It will generally shrink back
and line up with the shape of the pattern piece.
17. Place the shirt body and both sleeves right side up on your work surface.
18. (A)Pin mark the sleeve center point along the armscye edge. (B)Cut a few small slits, inside the
seam allowance, into the tightest part of the armscye curve.
19. With RIGHT sides together, match up the sleeve to the shoulder seam at the pin mark, continue to
line up the armscye seam along the shirt back.

20. Continue to line up the armscye seamline on the shirt front. Place the seam allowance at the 1/4"
marking. Hold the thread tails firmly behind the presser foot as you begin to stitch.
21. Sew along the entire armscye seam, removing the pins as you sew. Note that when you reach the
under arm, the 1/4" seam line will sew just past the sleeve hem.
22. Note again, the armscye stitching line will eliminate any bulk from the sleeve by stitching just
below the sleeve hem. Trim seam allowance to 1/8”
23. Place the sleeve back under the presser foot and sew with a zigzag or overlock stitch to finish the
seam allowance raw edge.
24. Press seam allowance towards the shirt body.
25. Repeat for other sleeve.
26. With RIGHT sides together, match up the side seam on the shirt Front and Back. Pin.
27. Straight stitch from the hemline up towards the under arm. Remove pins as you.
28. Trim seam allowance and sew a zigzag or overlock stitch to finish the seam allowance raw edge.
29. Repeat for other side seam.
30. Press hemline edge under 1/4" twice and sew with a single needle, or press under 1/2" once and
use a 1.6mm twin needle to complete hem.
31. (A) Double check your seam allowance width to be sure it will be caught on the underside.
(B)Install the twin needle if desired (recommended).
32. Straight stitch the hem. The twin needle uses two rows of straight stitching joined by a single
zigzag on the underside allowing the hem to have stretch.
33. Press the hemline with a steam setting on your iron to shrink back any over-stretching.
34. Cut a piece of 1/2" width hook and loop tape 5-1/2" in length (or measure your tee (A) to double
check that the tape will be the exact length of you tee).
35. Cut the tape in half lengthwise to create two 1/4" wide strips.
36. Place a piece of 1/8" wide double sided quilters tape down the length of the tee CB. Peel off
paper backing on top side to reveal the sticky tape.
37. Place the hook and loop tape LOOP side up on top of the quilter tape. Beginning one inch from
the hemline, straight stitch up the outside edge of the hook and loop tape.
38. Once you reach the neckline edge, with the needle in the down position, raise the presser foot.
39. Pivot the shirt and lower the presser foot, so you can stitch across the top of the narrow end of the
hook and loop tape.
40. Once you reach the edge of the tape, raise the presser foot and pivot the shirt again. Lower the
presser foot and sew down the inside edge of the hook and loop tape.
41. Continue to sew down to the hemline, raise the presser foot, pivot at the narrow end, sew a few
stitches, pivot again to sew up to the starting point. Backstitch to secure.
42. Finished Loop side pictured left on wearer's right. Step 42. On wearer's left back, press the CB
raw edge under 1/4". Apply quilters tape along folded edge.
43. Place the opposite piece of hook and loop tape, HOOK side up on top of quilter tape. Straight
stitch around all four sides using the method in steps 37-41.
44. Overlap hook and loop tape to secure the back opening of the t-shirt.
