I had a shirt that was too big, so I tried to make it smaller. The result being it didn't even fit my younger brother, who is a toothpick XP so I found some lace and wiped it together as such (: Im quite happy with my creation, and this is my first tutorial, so if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask ^-^ And sorry for the lack of photos! I did this at a friends house, and I had no camera

Cut the sides of the t shirt. I first slit the sides then I cut the triangle shapes. (I cut it to just below my underarm) Do to both sides, it doesn't have to be and even number.
Get your lace and cut it so its the same length of the side of your shirt. Make two for both sides. NOTE: the lace should be as wide as how much you need to add on. My lace I had to sew two ends together to make it as wide as I needed it.
Okay, the next part I found really easy, but it can be tricky for some. What I did is I just sewed the pointy ends of the triangles to the lace, starting from the bottom with my sewing machine. Going back and forth several times, and I just worked my way up accordingly. But if you would like to make it precise, I suggest you pin the ends to the lace first then sew.
Cut all the loose thread ends and voila! your finished! ^.^
