Ok.. So I know that there are a lot of tutorials out there for this technique, and as I was looking through them I noticed that they were not very clear, So I decided to make a tutorial of my way of doing this. It's pretty much the same as all of the other ones, but I found an easier way of doing the sleeves.. Thanks for stopping bye! Cheers!
*Note* Sorry if the picture gets cut off, I don't know what was wrong :/

Instructions
You Will Need
- Project Cost
- Almost Nothing
-
1
Gather your materials
-
2
Turn your too big for you shirt inside out
-
3
Put your fitted shirt on top of your large shirt, lining up at the collars.
(Yes I realize that I'm using a different fitted shirt than in the 1st picture) -
4
Trace around the body of the shirt (Not the sleeves) Leaving a bit of room for seam allowance
-
5
Move one side over so that the sleeve seams line up (The rest of the shirt doesn't have to line up, Just as long as the sleeve seams line up)
-
6
Trace around the sleeves, leaving a bit of room for seam allowance.
*Tip* It's better if the sleeve is cut on a diagonal, the smaller side at the bottom of the sleeve and the larger side at the top. I didn't do that in this picture but I corrected it when I cut it.
-
7
Do the same on the other side
*Note* Here I traced it correctly, see how the sleeve is more at a diagonal?
-
8
Cut along your lines
-
9
Pin along your cut edge
-
10
Your shirt should now look like this
-
11
Sew along the pinline
-
12
Fold the seams open and pin in place
-
13
Sew along your pin line
-
14
Gently pull along the raw edge of your sleeve, this will cause it to roll up
-
15
And you're done! Wasn't that easy? Now you have a cute new fitted tee shirt to wear out!
Ps. Those are not stains, I spilled some water on the shirt.. (I'm such a klutz)
