I just have a regular old Sears Kenmore sewing machine. I use stretch needles when sewing this kind of fabric (you can get these needles for any machine and they are very cheap) and then I use a very small zigzag stitch so it leaves room for stretching. I am no pro, but it seems to work well!
I will put up a how-to when i make a second attempt at this!

Lovely modern look it’s a great idea I think all of us have plenty of old tee we can reconstruct. The fit is great. But I want to know what kind of sewing machine are you using ?because the knit fabrics need special needles and machines (i think so………)

Nice upcycle! You’ve done a really good job on the fit.
