  Step 1

  First, draw out a racerback shape onto your t shirt with fabric marker or chalk. You can either eyeball this or try it on and have someone help you. Here's the front.

• 

  Step 2

  And the back.

• 

  Step 3

  Next, cut about 1/2 inch beyond the lines you drew (this extra 1/2 inch is your seam allowance).

• 

  Step 4

  Then on one of the armholes, fold along your chalk line and pin it in place, hiding the raw edges inside the shirt.

• 

  Step 5

  Next, sew along the pinned edge with either a zigzag stitch or double needle. Repeat this process with the other armhole. It should look something like this.

• 

  Step 6

  Now we just need to make the little band to pull the back into a racerback shape. To make the band, cut a 4 inch by 5 inch rectangle out of the leftover material from the sleeves.

• 

  Step 7

  Then fold the rectangle in half with right sides together (fold hamburger direction, so the two shorter 4 inch sides are lined up along the top). Pin the 4 inch ends together.

• 

  Step 8

  Sew the end that you pinned to form a tube and trim you raw edges near the stitching.

• 

  Step 9

  Now turn the tube right sides out so that the raw edges are hidden inside and iron it with the seam in the center.

• 

  Step 10

  Now wrap this loop around the fabric at the back of the shirt with the seam to the OUTSIDE and pin the ends together.

• 

  Step 11

  Next, sew the ends together and trim the raw edges close to the stitching.

• 

  Step 12

  Then turn the loop right sides out so the raw edges and center seam are hidden inside. And the last step! Just twist the loop around so that seam is towards the inside of the shirt.
