Steps (4 steps, 30 minutes)

1
-Take the shirt you want to use and measure how long you want the section under the bust to be.
-Mark this length out with Chalk.
-Measure the length around your torso, (under your bust) and divide that measurement in 1/2 and mark this at the top of the section you are going to cut. (mark it out in the center)
-Draw a diagnal line from the top of the measurement to the bottom of the shirt.
(Note the red section) -
2
-cut along the diagnal lines and the shorter line from the bust measuremnt.
-face the outside of the fabric into each other and stitch it up on both sides.
-you now have the bottom portion of your halter. -
3
-Take one of the sleeves and hold open the tube.
-cut both of the sides of the tube so that you have two pieces.
- If the hem of the sleeve is still intact, then you can use it for the next step, otherwise create an inch hem on each. -

- Take the tube from step 2 and fold down an inch hem inside of the shirt and stitch it using a wipstitch.
-attach the sleeves to the top of the tube.
-Take the excess fabric and cut three strands.
-Thread one through each hem of the sleeves, so that a piece of fabric is coming from each side.
-Cut two holes in the back of the halter where the hem is.
-Feed the third piece of fabric through.
