How to alter men’s t-shirt to look cute on small female?
I won tickets to a concert this weekend and the radio station gave me a mens XL t-shirt that if I wear it to the show, I get moved to front row. Problem is, I am a whopping 5′0″ tall and the shirt comes down past my knees.
I’ve have seen t-shirts where girls cut the sides out and then tie little knots down each side. I am not crafty enough to just figure this out. Wondering if anyone can send me a link on how to do this or if you might have very details directions. I only have this one shirt and I dont want to ruin it. I would prefer to not sew anything cause I really dont know how.
I just found out there is a book called Generation T- 108 ways to transform a t-shirt. If anyone has this could you please let me know some cute ways to fix my shirt? Thanks so much in advance. I can’t seem to find any pics of what Im talking about, but hopefully some of you know what I mean.

We do it all the time for our volleyball team. Okay, so what you want to do is cut 2 inch slits that are 1 inch apart starting from right under the armpit area to the bottom of the shirt. You should end up having a shirt that looks like it has gills on the sides. Next cut right in between all the slits so you basically cut your shirt in half and there are strips of fabric hanging from the sides. Put it on, and tie the strips to fit your body. If you cut the slits too far in, then you’ll just have a little more skin showing, if you didn’t cut them far enough, just untie it and cut it a little more.
Happy t-shirt making
