Then you need to gather all the items listed above and bring them to your table. Having more than one old shirt on hand is also a good idea because getting it perfect on your first try may be challenging. After all, practice always makes perfect!

3. Draw your design

Before you even touch the scissors, you want to draw the method you plan to cut on your shirt. This way, you will have a guide as you cut.

4. Cut the collar first

This way, you can base the rest of the style on how the shirt fits you after removing the collar. However, if you leave the collar intact, you can skip this step.

5. Cut the bottom hem

The hem is an easy part of the t-shirt to cut; doing so does not mess up with the size.

6. Cut the Sides, Sleeves, and Back

And now is the time to finally make the cuts that will drastically change your shirt! So, cut the sides and the back, following your chosen design. You can also conserve the fabric scraps that you have removed to use them later if needed. And remember that there is no harm in going slow to ensure your t-shirt design comes out perfectly!
