Easy-peasy: take in a knit
Did a simple knit alteration project the other day that I thought I'd share. This striped tee from Forever 21 was too big in the waist and sides, and rather than live with it (it was seriously unflattering!) I took it in.
Sewing on knits can seem daunting, but it's a seriously good thing to be able to do. Check out the tutorial I did a while back on taking in a sweater, and my Sewing Circle post about sewing on knits. What I did to this tee is basically a combo of those two posts!

Here's the after: inside: (note the looong zigzag stitch I used to let it stretch! This tee has some spandex in it and really needs to have that give)
