1
Start out with a t-shirt that is too big for you.
-
2
Fold the t-shirt inside out and lay it down on a flat surface. Place another t-shirt (one that fits you properly) on top of the large t-shirt.
-
3
Trace the outline of the smaller t-shirt on to the larger t-shirt with chalk.
-
4
Place dressmaking pins along the outline, making sure to catch both sides of the t-shirt.
-
5
Pin right along the outline so that you have the outline of the smaller t-shirt pinned into the larger one.
-
6
Cut along the outside of the outline leaving a 1/2" margin.
-
7
Using a sewing machine sew along the outline removing the pins as you go.
-
8
Turn the t-shirt back inside out and you're all done.

I've used this for three of my shirts and I just love it. Geeky shirts only come in boy sizes and I love making them girl shirts. They go from barely worn into regular rotation.

awesome! i used to just guesse where to sew, so it would always end up to big or to small, i never relized that i could just put a shirt over it!
