After Halloween I purchased 3 t-shirts for 70% off the origional price which made for a great deal for me. The problem was that they all shrunk in the wash to sizes I can't imagine many people could have fit into. One of them I couldn't even begin to fit over my head. Luckily there are methods of stretching one's t-shirt to a better fit.
So I thought I'd do a couple of fast recons- each taking less then 15 minutes to do. (the second will only take you about a minute)

Repeat cutting triangles down your shirt as far as you like to go.

Next fold your shirt over about an inch like so;

5
Cut triangles down a second row stopping right below the last one on the first row.

Repeat that process until you've gone as far over as you want to go. I put a bright colored t-shirt under mine so you can see what it looks like when finished.

7
Stratch the back of your shirt and then remove the hem of your shirt.

Stretch out fringe.

I decided I wanted the fringe on my sleeves to be as long as possible so I removed the seam in my sleeve using a seam ripper but if you don't want to do this part you can just cut off the hem and begin to cut fringe on your sleeve if you want.
