Sew the Pete T-Shirt (7042 Views)

These are instructions for sewing the Pete Shirt with a serger. If you dont have a serger, you can refer to the instructions for the Lydia pattern, and How To Finish Seam Edges without a Serger. For either kind of machine, you should look at How To Sew A Rib Knit for the neckline.

    Enjoyed the tutorial. But how did you do the applique portion of the shirt? I like the seagull pattern. Can you offer that somehow? Thanks!
