Second Cut

Step 2

Cut the bottom of the shirt

Cut off the bottom of the shirt, 2 inches from the edge. You should end up with a fabric loop. Cut this loop at one of the seams to create a long strip. Now, cut the strip lengthwise into two long 1” wide strips. You can use these strips to lace up the sides of your new shirt. Alternately, you could use ribbon or shoelaces.
