How to Make a T-Shirt into a Tank Top

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

Turn your t-shirt inside out. You will need to see the seams on the sleeves. Cut off both sleeves on the inside edge of the seam. Be sure to hold the shirt in both hands and rotate the sleeve as you cut around. Do not lay your shirt flat and cut the sleeves off, because then you can’t see where you’re cutting on the back. Use the sleeves to make sleeve headbands.

Let’s butcher it some more in our next step.
