When summer arrives and the temperatures start to get hot, we can’t help but wear very light clothes, which don’t make us sweat too much and which allow us to carry out all our activities without suffering excessively from the heat. However, very often even the lightest clothing we have can be prohibitive when the mercury reaches very high levels. Just for example, even short-sleeved t-shirts can have some problems , especially in terms of the neck. In fact, it is not uncommon for t-shirts to have a very narrow neck which makes wearing them very annoying, especially on days when the heat is more intense.
Widening a narrow neck: this way you can do it without problems
Fortunately there are several ways to widen a narrow neck quickly and easily without necessarily having to resort to tailoring. In fact, by following one of these methods, we can also save a lot of money.

The first thing to do is take the shirt and turn the neck inside out, as seen in the video, then insert a couple of pins. The measurements are then taken , which must be 4 centimeters for the central part and 8 centimeters for the lateral part.
Once the measurements have been taken, we mark the area that we will have to cut, so as to increase the neck of the shirt . Once the cut is completed we will have obtained a much wider neck.
Obviously the operation doesn’t end here, since now we will have to redo the collar of the t-shirt. How to do? The procedure is much simpler than you might think. Just go and cut a strip from the bottom of the shirt , approximately a couple of centimeters wide.
Having reached this point, still carefully taking the measurements as you can easily see in the video, we are going to add the stripe to the neck, using a sewing machine.
Once the collar structure is complete, let’s join it to the opening of the t-shirt using some pins . When everything is positioned in the right way we can go to sewing.
Still helping ourselves with the sewing machine we can create a perfect hem for our t-shirt, guaranteeing a much wider opening than before.
