How to turn XL shirts into a girl's size
It happens sometimes when you see a t-shirt with a great logo, but it happens to be in only man sizes! Here’s a way to turn it into a simple tank-top which will fit your figure.
1:
Take the t-shirt and lay it on a flat surface. Make sure there are no creases.
2:
Start cutting one centimeter before the seam of the sleeve vertically down all the way to the end of the shirt in one straight line. Have no fear!
3:
Turn the shirt inside out.
4:
Grab around three to four needles (depending on the size of the shirt).
5:
Join the two cut sides together with a needle below the armpit - leaving some space for the arm to go through.
6:
Then keep joining the two sides with the rest of the needles all the way down the side, so you know where to follow the line when you’re sewing.
7:
Start sewing the shirt from the top (this being the first needle below the armpit).
8:
When you’ve reached the bottom of your shirt, make a tight knot with the remaining thread so it won’t come apart!
9:
Repeat process with the other side of the shirt.
Tips:
You can always cut off the neck line if you want to make the shirt girlier. Just make sure that whilst cutting you do not cut up any logos!
