Make a T-Shirt into a Halter Top

Hem the front of the shirt.

Turn the shirt over. Fold over the top of the front of the shirt about 1". Sew a straight stitch along the fold, about a 1/4" from the edge. This will be the casing for your drawstring.

Turn the shirt right-side-out. Thread your drawstring through the newly made collar. Put the shirt on and scrunch the collar down the drawstring and tie it around your neck.

Let's take a look at some tips.
