Instructions

  1. Small dscn1848

    Gather your materials.

  2. Small dscn1850

    Create two small pattern pieces to dictate the shape of your cut-outs on cardstock. It can be arbitrary, but check the neckline you're dealing with to see what shape works best.

  3. Small dscn1849

    Lay pattern pieces down on Tee, creating a motif. Start from the center of the neckline and trace off with something wash-able. Doing this from the inside of the shirt to avoid marking it permanently is also a good idea.

  4. Small dscn1851

    Continue until you've achieved your desired motif. We like rotating the two shapes along the contour of the neckline to give it some geometric allure.

  5. Small dscn1852

    Once your motif is traced off, carefully cut out your shapes.

  6. Small dscn1853

    Don't stress the garment too much once you've made some holes in it - it will be delicate unless you're working with very thick material or some sort of reinforcement.

    Finally, roll up the sleeves to form a stylized cuff.
