To start out, I widened the shoulders 1 inch. I cut 1 inch off the final length (I had taken 2 inches off the previous Renfrew and kept trying to yank it down a bit, so....)
The v-neck was a bit challenging but super fun! Hah! Everything is fun after the Minoru : ) I was pretty pleased how my v turned out, it's about 1 mm off centre and it is mostly obvious when I look down. Also my sewing machine isn't too fond of the very very stretchy knit and it seemed like I had to pull the fabric through the machine, and lengthen my stitch length a lot so it didn't snaggle up in the feed dogs. I was using the ball point needle and I did wonder if I should give that stretch needle a try.
This fabric was much looser than the blue cotton. Because of that I think all my changes were unnecessary...I really should have left the length a bit shorter. The wide vneck totally compensated for my shoulders. If I do this again I will probably leave off the sleeve and bottom bindings for a more normal tshirt look. But it's still fabulous! I made my own tshirts : )
