I have so many baggy old tee shirt sitting in my closet and I never wear then but never seemed to get rid of them. When I first learned how to do this I was glad I kept them all. I started with an old relay for life Teeshirt and the only other thing you need is scissors.
I started out by laying it out Flat on my floor and cutting of the sleeves. I cut right along the outside of the seam and then it will be nice and round. You will probably have to trim it later but it's better to start with cutting less.
Then I cut off the neckline. I cut the collet off and I followed the seam. I didn't just cut it in a half circle, I cut it all the way around as close to the seam as possible.
Then I flipped it Over so that the back was facing up. Then I scrunched up the sides to make a racer back and tied it with a piece of fabric from the sleeve.
I tied it loosely at first so that I could adjust it later. I just wrapped the fabric around two or three times and tied it. Then I twisted it around so you couldn't see the knot.
Once I tied it i tried it on and found it was a little tight in the neck and arms.
All you have to do is untie the back and cut the arm holes and neck hole a little bit bigger. I marked the shirt with a yellow sharpie while it was still on so I knew here to cut.
Here is the finished product! It looks so much better and it is so comfy. To make it fit a little better you can gently pull on the arm holes to stretch them out. Here is a look at it from the back (sorry, Iwas trying to get it in the mirror and it didn't work very well).
