Create a T-shirt

Create your own stylish Jazz top from one of your large T-shirts.

Supplies:
1 T-shirt
Scissors
Ruler
Straight pins

1. Turn the T-shirt inside out, lay it flat, and cut off the sleeves just inside the seams. Cut off the bottom 2" above the hem (save fabric for step 5).
2. Depending on your size and the size of the shirt, cut 3" to 6" off each side, through both layers of fabric. (The best way to determine this is to try on the shirt and measure the amount of extra fabric you can pinch at the sides.)
3. Use a pin on each side of the shirt to mark where the bottoms of the armholes should be.
4. Starting at one of the pins, use the point of one scissor blade to poke small holes 1" to 2" apart through both layers, down the side of the shirt, 1" from the edge of the fabric. Repeat on the other side.
5. To make the laces, cut two 1"-wide strips from the length of the shirt bottom cut off in step 1.
6. Starting at the underarm, thread one strip through the two top holes, then weave each end in and out of the holes, criss-crossing as you go—as if you were lacing a shoe. Tie the two ends in a bow at the bottom of the shirt.
7. Repeat step 6 on the opposite side.
8. Remove the pins and try on your tank, adjusting the “laces” as needed.

Optional:
Use ribbon in place of the T-shirt laces.
Use the remaining T-shirt material to create ties to cinch the shoulders of the tank.
