Simple Striped Shirt

I know school is just around the corner, and there are lots of 'back to school sales,' but this year I'm trying to make everything I need for school at home. So as a first back-to-school item, I'm making myself a comfortable shirt. I found the tutorial for this shirt here

Here's what you need:

• Striped jersey knit fabric (about 2 yards, just to be safe)
• A shirt to use for measuring
• Thread of similar color to your fabric

Here's how you make it:

• Lay your fabric down, and lay your measuring shirt on top of it. Cut the fabric so it is slightly larger than the measuring shirt at the edges. You should have extra fabric to set aside.

•  Now, make sure that the outsides of the fabric are facing each other, (inside-out) and that the stripes are lined up, then pin the sides of the fabric.

•  Sew up the sides, making sure not to sew the sleeve openings and the bottom of the shirt.
• Next, take the extra fabric and make two long strips of fabric that are about four inches wide. The strips should each be a little smaller than the bottom of the shirt. (Sorry about the drawings.)

•  Fold each strip of fabric in half, then sew them together at each end.

• Turn the already-sewn shirt inside-out. Pin and sew the strips to the bottom of the shirt.
• Now all that's left is a few hems. Fold in the ends of the sleeves only an inch, then sew. Do the same to the other sleeve, and the collar.
• Turn your shirt back right ways, (if you haven't already,) and you're done!
