Update your wardrobe using an old t-shirt with this simple step by step tutorial!
It seems everywhere I look these days I see pretty people rocking off the shoulder cuts. First there was Leandra Medine – mother of all things fashion -, then the lovely Alissa, then the Sartorialist. Before I knew it my friends, neighbors, hell, the bus driver all went shoulder revealed. Now it might have been fashion hallucinations due to the fact that I’m properly obsessed. So I stole The Boy’s t-shirt and figured it was DIY time.

Step 1
STEP 1: Trace a line from the center of the neckline to about 1″ above the top of the seam of each shoulder.
Step 2
STEP 2: Cut along the line. Use the front as a rough guideline to cut the back as well.
Step 3
STEP 3: Turn your shirt wrong side out and pin a 1″ hem all around. Hand or machine stitch all around leaving an opening.
Step 4
STEP 4: Attach the loose end of the elastic. Insert it in the gap you left open and thread it all around.
Step 5
STEP 5: Try on the top to measure approximately the length of elastic you’ll need. Cut and stitch both loose ends together to secure.
Step 6
STEP 6: Stitch the opening closed, turn right side out and wear!
