Donkey Kong Dress Mod Version 1 & 2

Step 3 Sewing the mesh net fabric on

Tested and practiced on a crappy tshirt before moving on to the Donkey Kong tshirt because it's irreplaceable. So important to do this!

The dancewear mesh fabric for the window actually came from a trim because the fabric by the yard couldn't be found in retail fabric stores at the time. I traveled to 4 stores: 2 JoAnns, Vogue in Evanston, and a closed Hancock which gave me a heart attack. I remembered Hancock Fabrics would have it because I used to buy from there (and used to work there a long time ago.)
The fabric was wide enough for me to use on the window and I dismantled it form the trim. Eventually I found the mesh net fabric by the yard but it didn't seem as dark as the one I found on the trim.

Made a sandwich of mesh net fabric, tshirt, and tear away stabilizer.
The stabilizer will help feed the knit fabric through the sewing machine while providing support for the satin stitches. It will also probably strengthen the window too.

Made heavy marks on shirt and mesh with white tailors chalk.
Used a zig zag stitch with small compact width and length to produce a neat compact (but not bulky) satin stitch.
Sewed the rectangle shape that will become the window.
