Changing up a t-shirt can make it fit better, add color, or just express your personal style. A properly transformed t-shirt can look a hundred times better than the original, and you get to use your favorite logo's and characters in the design. More T-Shirt Surgery Share Your Transformation

Your fave logo on a old tatty tee? Cut around it and sew onto a new one for a real punk rock look.

I LOVE this one!

And I have an idea... If the T-shirt is a bit larger and the arm holes hang too long under your arm pit, you could easily snip the t-shirt open on the shoulders and thread a large hole wooden or plastic bead or even some washers or nuts and then sew it up! Also, a little bit of frou-frou trim around the bottom would add an additional personalized touch to your creation. For a shirt that may be too snug around the hips, you could cut the sides at the hemline about 4 to 6 inches, depending on length, then sew those raw edges to prevent curling. I think I'll get started on mine for the holiday weekend right now. Thanks, Rain!!! =)
