Next, I began sewing. Sadly, though I did manage to get my hands on a sewing machine after break began, it had some major tension problems with the upper thread, and was unable to sew a straight line. This means that I had to hand sew all of this shirt, which is not ideal because it is a weaker and less straight stitch. I used a running stitch for almost all seams except for a few inner seams, where I used whip stitch. The fact that I was using a lot of the shirts' original construction was a big help!
