I found this shirt at a MCR concert under somebody's foot.
Anyway, it's been sitting in my closet for over a year now and I finally decided that this shirt needed something.
Guys aren't the only ones who like to represent!

-
Start off with your manly box-like shirt and straighten it out.
-
Make it as perfectly flat and straight as possible :)
-
Then turn the shirt inside out.
-
I don't do well with measurements, so I just took some chalk and went ahead with how much I think I should take in.
This fitting the shirt pretty much!
Start with the sleeves, the very tip and then draw the line down to the very bottom, make sure it's even! -
Cut away the extra fabric, now you have a fitted shirt :)
-
To make it even more girly, I suppose I "cuffed" the sleeves, I don't exactly know what to call it.
Anyway, I put elastic at the end of the sleeve and stitched it into place! -
Fold the tip of the sleeve over the elastic and sew the elastic into the sleeve.
-
After you've done that with both sleeves - it should look as pictured.
-
Cut the elastic band from the neck. This makes the collar less manly.
-
The product of all the following steps should resemble this.
-
Measure an inch around the entire neck with chalk.
-
After you've cut the neck out, it should look like that. This makes the shirt a lot more feminine.
You can stitch around the neck if you like, but I didn't so it would have an edge to it. -
You don't have to do this, but I did as an experiment; a risk.
Measure down the back, my mark is 13 inches down from the neck. -
Make a bow!
You can use glue or thread, but since I ran out of glue... I used thread. -
Not perfect, but close enough.
-
Then put the bow onto the shirt and stitch it into place.

I'd never have the guts to do this to my beloved band tees. Lovely job on this.

Cute! I have so many bands tees. But I am WAY too afraid to do something like that to any of them in fear of messing them up.
haha :p

i love this !
I have all these band shirts that I only like to wear when going to to a coffee shop or staying in my house, cause they are so bulky looking.
hoorah!
