Make a Tank Top out of your T-Shirts! NO SEW!



 I had this tutorial in my head for a really long time and i couldnt post it..but here's it..

All you need :
1) Any random T's of your faviourite (Stretchy)
2)Siccors
3) Pen/pencil if you're not used to cutting randomly
4) Tape if you're not sure to measure your neckline

Steps :
1) First fold your T in half properly and get your siccors and cut just below the sewed line of the sleeves. If you're not sure that it'd get messup while you cut, mark the curve just below..you do not want the sewed line in this..

2) Next fold the T again, and make a mark of how long you want the neck line to be... you can do this by measuring up with a tape..OR you can also just keep your index finger on the end of your neck and the pinky finger on where you want the neckline to end ( if your fingers are long enough to take the right measure hehe :P ) anyway you can do that somehow :D

3) After you measure compare the size horizontly with the T thats folded in half, and mark a slight mark with your pencil/pen.

4) Next mark a curve (make sure you don't get too curvy 'cuz we're cutting the sewed line of the T and the T's pretty stretchy, so it might be really big if you cut it so big thinking its the size or start small..

And then cut that curve. You can unfold and wear it and see if that's the size you wanted.

5) Now fold your T again and cut the end sewed line off.. If you want this you can just leave this step..
     Though if you're doing this step all you got to do is, cut that line in a small tiny shape.. little curve at the end...

Since your T's folded, cut straight from the middle and when you're getting to the last end part (just 1 inch away) Make a slight curve.. (not too curvy)

6) You're done with cutting. Now get the sleeves you've cut ( your T) and hold the end lines of what you've cut and stretch the whole circle bit by bit.. don't stretch it too much.. Otherwise it'll get really big..
The stretched lines must come like this,



Stretch the neckline as well as the bottom line we cut the same way. You're done!
