RE: Hemming the Neck of a T-shirt
I do this to all my T's. Cut the neckline ribbing off close to the stitching. Since the fabric is very stretchy, run a line of small stitches around the neckline about 1/8 inch from the edge to stabilize. You could also overcast the edge if you deem it necessary. Last step is to turn the cut edge 1/4 - 3/8 inches to the inside and run a line of stitches around the whole neckline. This results in a nice sized neckline but can be lowered by cutting deeper in the front. Be careful, don't go too low. BTW, the sewing can be done on machine or by hand, just don't stretch! Enjoy!

Thanks for the hint. I meant to make the neckline a scoop neck like in women's T shirts. Aloha, Judy

RE: Hemming the Neck of a T-shirt
I am not sure what you mean? Are you wanting to make a neck with the ribbing like a store bought tee, or cut the neckline where it is not so high? Tee shirt fabric is so thin, that to just make a seam, you need to either fold or roll it with a small seam, and pin it very close together, then either hand stitch it, or sew it slowly on the machine.
Good luck to you. Used to do this when the kids were small LOL!

That is the one thing that does work on rust on clothes,putting salt on then lemon then placed where the sunlight can get at it.
I tried this myself awhile back and it really did work..

Any of the methods given below are safe for rust stains on white fabrics, but test on colored fabrics before use.
Lemon Juice - suitable for light stains on delicate fabrics. Spread stain over a bowl of boiling water and sprinkle with lemon juice. After a few minutes, rinse well and repeat if necessary.
Lemon Juice and Salt - sprinkle stain with salt, rub with lemon juice and place in sunlight. Keep moist with lemon juice till stain goes. Rinse well.
Cream of Tartar - (a powder, available in your grocery store spice section) for extensive staining, boil in a solution of 3 tsp. cream of tartar per cup of water. Rinse well OR if less extensive, dampen stain, spread with cream of tartar, hold in steam from boiling kettle. Rinse immediately stain goes. Do not use on fabrics that cannot be washed in hot water.

Try dabbing a little bit of hydrogen peroxide (from the medicine cabinet) on the stain with a Q-tip. Let set for just a few minutes, then wash.
