If you’ve ever wanted to sew your own basic t-shirt, this is a great place to start!
In this Sew With Me video, I’m making the Core Tee from Closet Core Patterns — a free, beginner-friendly knit top that’s perfect for building a handmade wardrobe.
This isn’t a full step-by-step tutorial, but I do walk through each part of the process so you can see how it all comes together — from fabric to finished garment.
In this video:
* A quick overview of each construction step
* Tips for sewing with knit fabrics
* Simple techniques to keep your tee looking clean and wearable
* A final try-on so you can see how it fits and moves
Get the fabric I used from iSee Fabric here: iseefabric.com/products/slub-jersey-100-cotton?variant=47848072380653
This project is part of Sew Together 2026, a free monthly sewing challenge where we focus on building skills, confidence, and a wardrobe you’ll actually wear.
