To skip the long rambling intro and go directly to the tutorial: 2:25
📘💙 My new book of self-reflection exercises: www.authenblissity.com/abr-book
New video (Jul/14) - How to Cut the Perfect Muscle Tee: • How to Cut the Perfect...
I took a screen printing class recently and printed a whole bunch of t-shirts for myself. The t-shirts were kind of dowdy so I decided to make them into off-the-shoulder t-shirts... after ruining one (luckily, my least favourite), i decided to come up with a system to measure and cut the perfect off-the-shoulder t-shirt every single time.
Please practice with a t-shirt you do not care about... just in case.
For this DIY, you will need:
- A t-shirt :)
- A pair of scissors - amzn.to/2JnDsFI
- A tape measure - amzn.to/2qgCGSf (note: you can use a piece of string if you don't have a measuring tape)
- A marker or tailor's chalk (thank you to SirParcifal for this suggestion!) - amzn.to/2StvVJu
If you try this method, please leave me a comment to let me know! :)
Thanks for watching!!!

My 6 year old daughter just watched this with me as we did the cut on her shirt and said "Can we tell her?" I asked what she wanted to say "That this really worked for us. That's what she asked in the end mom." 😂👌🏽😊

Love how my shirts turned out and this will be my go to guide for all of my shirts I cut the neck out of (which is quite a few of them, I hate a tight neck, and this way is so much more beautiful and dainty). Thank you!!!!

This tutorial is the best! I've always felt strangled by t-shirts and now, I love them. I just chop out the neckline and make it slouchy fabulous. One tip for anyone like me with shaky hands/not the neatest person with scissor: get a rotary cutter from Michael's and a self-healing cutting board. It makes the neckline cut super smooth, works really well when you flip the half neckline piece over to mirror it and it's a breeze for cleaning up any rough edges after your cut.
