Make a Slit Sided T Shirt

Want to make a new t-shirt more fashionable or tighter without having to re-sew anything? Its quite easy, so read on.

Steps

  1. Put the shirt on and decide how far you want to cut into it. When it is done it should be tight against the sides of your stomach and shoulders without being so tight its uncomfortable. Usually about an inch is a good depth to start off with.
  2. Lay the t-shirt inside out on a flat surface. Make sure the surface is completely smooth and flat. Align the edges of the shirt by making sure each hem is laying on top of its counter hem on the opposite side of the shirt.
  3. Using a pair of scissors cut the sides. They should be cut a bit like fringe. Make sure you cut both sides of the shirt and that you cut evenly. Each piece should be about a half inch wide and about three inches long. These sizes usually work for everyone, but if its too tight or too loose you may need to adjust. Cut the entire sides starting below the shoulder hem (Where the sleeve ends) and going to the bottom hem.
  4. Tie each of the strips to the one below it. Start at the top and be careful not to miss any of them as you tie. If you want you can leave a few untied for a more edgy look, that usually works best in the middle of the sides or at the top or bottom. In other words, try not to just randomly leave some untied, pick your style and stick with it.
  5. Finished.

Tips

  • You might have to wear something under it in order to not get too embarrassed.
