Step 1
Cut the Shirt:
------------------------------------------------Wash and iron shirt
-Lay out flat on a hard surface
-Use rotary cutter or fabric scissors to cut shirt following pink lines
------------------------------------------------ On the back side only cut straight under shirt sleeves
- On the front side angle cut from bottom of sleeves up to shirt collar
-Cut straight under shirt collar
- Put scraps aside -
Step 3
Hemming the Top:
-----------------------------------------------
- With the shirt inside out roll a 1/4" hem around entire raw edge EXCEPT for the top neckline, pin in place
- Fold neckline over 1/4", iron and then fold an 1" over, pin in place to create a "pocket" hem. This will hold the neck tie.
- Sew hem in place, I recommend using a longer stitch and a looser tension in order to sew the t-shirt fabric
-
Step 6
Completing your top:
-----------------------------------------------
- Use scraps ( I recommend the back section) and cut 1-2" wide strip(s) long enough to tie comfortably around your neck
- Pull strips on both ends in order to roll edges in and extend the length of the tie
- Pull tie through neckline pocket hem and scrunch
- Try on top and enjoy :)
