Too small? Make it bigger!

So I had a Tokio Hotel shirt that was getting too small, but I still wanted to wear it. It had a hole in the collar and was generally, well, getting too small for me. Using an awesome cut-up back shirt I saw on here, I decided to use it to make this shirt bigger. Love the outcome!

Instructions

  1. Small sdc14333 1265247232

    Lay out your shirt. Look at it. Decide where you want to make your cuts, and grab your scissors.

  2. Small sdc14334 1265247280

    Does it have a hole in the neckline, like mine? If so, good. You're gonna cut it off. Seriously, I still don't know how I got this hole.

  3. Small sdc14335 1265247479

    Start cutting around the neckline. Take it right off.

  4. Small sdc14336 1265247544

    Throw it to the side.

  5. Small sdc14337 1265247708

    Now flip it over. Grab the scissors again, and start cutting long slits. I stopped about 1 1/2 - 2 inches from the side seams.

  6. Small sdc14338 1265247805

    Do this all the way up. Once you're done, cut those slits in half. Now you're gonna start tying them.

  7. Small sdc14339 1265248074

    This is kinda hard to explain.. Take the halves from two slits and tie them together tightly. Again, go all the way up.

    Now you're done! I think Bill would approve of what I've done to his shirt. :)
