How do I add a cowl neckline to a t-shirt?
This section is sponsored by
Hi everyone,
I have some medium weight jersey that I want to make into a long tee. I first thought of doing your tradition crew neck but the idea of a cowl neckline is really perking my interest. I’m thinking of a cowl that is similar in shape and volume to the Renfrew Top by Sewaholic Patterns. Regrettably, I do not have a clue on how to do this! Never made a cowl neckline before but I would LOVE to add it to my t-shirt design. Can someone give me brief written directions on how to do this or refer me to an online tutorial that you know of? I would really appreciate any help!

You can search Google images “Draft a cowl neck” and pick the one that looks most like you would like. You’ll get the idea whe you have tried it in miniature a few times, but it needs pictures to explain it properly.

There are a few tutes on the website off the cuff – sewing style. She definitely has one on drafting a cowl neckline. http://off-the-cuff-style.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Sewing%20Tutorials
