Make a T-Shirt Smaller by Cutting It
Step1
Lay your T-shirt on the ground with its front side facing you. Start by cutting the hem off the bottom of the shirt. You can cut it right above the stitch or a little higher.
Step2
Save the T-shirt hem after you cut it. It will come in handy later.
Step3
If you want to create a sexier neckline, cut the collar off. You can have fun with this by cutting it in a boat neck style.
Step4
Cut the sleeves of your T-shirt to a length just above its original hem.
Step5
Get that hem from the bottom of your T-shirt and cut it in one long continuous piece of fabric.
Step6
Measure about an inch down from the neckline. Cut a slit about a half-inch long going down to the base of the T-shirt. Make several of these slits along the base of the T-shirt, about two inches apart.
Step7
String the hem from the bottom of your T-shirt through the slits and tie a cute bow where the ends of the hem meet. You may have some extra fabric and may need to trim the hem ribbon tails.
Step8
Rock Your smaller DIY t-shirt with pride.
