Third Cut

Step 3

Cut the sides of the shirt.

Lay your shirt down flat on the floor in front of you. With your finger, estimate about an inch from the left side. An inch is about the distance from your fingertip to your first knuckle. No measuring tape required! Cut from the bottom all the way up to the bottom of the sleeve hole, staying an inch from the edge. Repeat with the right side. You should be left with an apron that has an elastic neck hole.

Now you’re ready to make holes.
