Cutting the Seams of a Shirt to Make a Pattern

Video Transcript

"To cut your shirt apart this is something that needs to be exact, the more exact you are the more you'll replicate the t-shirt exactly. So you are going to definitely want to cut on all the seams exactly so you have the side seams. This one doesn't have sleeves maybe yours does so would have to take that into account. Then the shoulder seam and then you want to cut the neck band off, you want to cut it exactly where it leads exactly that seam. I?m going to go ahead and start cutting it once you cut it then that's it, it's over. You are going to have to turn it into a new shirt so here we go. I?m going to cut exactly on those seams. Now you have the side seam I kind of hold it out flat and cut exact all the way down. Now this is my paper cutting scissors I have two scissors one for fabric and one for paper. Don't mix the two of them or once you cut paper you won't be able to cut the fabric. This is thin fabric it's working but you definitely want to keep your scissors separate, so I?m going to cut the other side cutting all seams."
