T-shirts

Ok so I found this new trend thats starting and its pretty cool and easy.
Step 1#Place your selected tee flat on the table, being certain that the side seams align.
Step 2# Cut around the tee along the bottom seam.
Step 3#Decide how wide you would like your tank straps to be. Use a ruler to measure out a piece of tape and place that piece of tape on the shoulder seam. To ensure that both sleeves are even, cut another piece of tape the same length and place it on the opposite shoulder.
Step 4#Using the outer edge of the tape as a guide, cut in a curved motion and remove the sleeve repeat on other sleeve
Step 5#Depending on how low you want the scoop to fall, cut a vertical incision down the center of the tee.
Step 6#To cut the scoop neck, make a small incision along the shoulder seam from the neck to the end of then tape you're using as a guide. Repeat on the opposite shoulder.
Step 7#Starting approximately 2" under the arm, begin cutting 3" long slits across the seam on whatever side you choose. Cut as many as you want, depending on how wide you would like each strip. Leave at least an inch at the bottom.
Step 8#Cut the center of each strip, creating an opening on the side.
Step 9#Want a flirty, asymmetrical look? On the opposite side, cut an upward diagonal, starting at the bottom.
Step 10# Slip on your tank and tie the side strips to fit you. All that's left to do is to rock your personalized tee tank!
