A quick t-shirt I made out of white stretch cotton (?) and some lace. I’m slowly learning to work with stretch material so it doesn’t look all crazy-like. I had some issues with the sleeves, and they flare out way more than I’d like. Oh well; you live, you learn, right?
I bought both fabrics for really cheap over at Jomar's. I like layering lace over solids like this; I may try it again.

It’s just like using a regular one, except you have two threads instead of one. Three all together. When you do the hem with a twin-needle, remember to sew from front-side (?? don’t know the english word – again ;-)) It’s zig-zags on the backside. ;-) Happy sewing/learning! :-)

New things are often difficult to learn :-) About the flaring on the sleeves. Did you use a twin-needle for the hem and remember to adjust the machine? But all in all, I think you did great on this t-shirt. It looks good and I really like the effect with the black lace over the white cotton! :-)

Thanks! I didn’t use a twin needle, just a No. 11 regular one. I don’t know how to use twin needles, but I have one, so I should give it a try. _
