Step-by-Step Sewing Instructions

Draft construction notes. Readable online; review against the pattern pieces before sewing.

1

Stabilize and Join the Shoulders

Handle the deep scoop neckline gently so it does not grow before the neckband is attached. Place the Front Body and Back Body right sides together, stitch both shoulder seams with a stretch-compatible stitch, finish the allowances together, and press them toward the back.

2

Fit the Deep Scoop Neckband

Join the Neckband short ends into a loop and fold it lengthwise wrong sides together. Quarter-mark the band and deep scoop neckline, then add extra balance marks around the lower front curve. Stitch while stretching only the band so the neckline returns flat without gaping.

3

Insert the Modal Tee Sleeves

With the body open flat, match each Sleeve center cap notch to the shoulder seam and match the front and back notches. Support the soft modal fabric while stitching the sleeve cap into the armhole so the seam does not stretch.

4

Close the Underarm and Side Seams

Fold the tee right sides together, match the underarm seam intersections, and pin along the sleeve and body edges. Stitch continuously from each sleeve hem to the body hem, finish the allowances together, and press toward the back using low heat.

5

Finish the Modal Hems and Neckline

Let the tee rest flat, then press the sleeve and body hem allowances to the wrong side and stitch with a twin needle, coverstitch, or narrow zig-zag. Steam lightly and confirm that the deep scoop neckline lies smooth and level.

Troubleshooting & Fit Alterations

Solutions for common fitting hurdles and construction errors specific to this garment.

Problem: Seams puckering along stitch line

Possible Cause: Thread tension too high or needle blunt

Recommended Fix: Insert fresh needle and test balance on fabric scrap.

Problem: Wavy edge along curved perimeter

Possible Cause: Edge was stretched while feeding into machine

Recommended Fix: Staystitch immediately after cutting and use walking foot.
