New video (Jul/14) - How to Cut the Perfect Muscle Tee: • How to Cut the Perfect...
I took a screen printing class recently and printed a whole bunch of t-shirts for myself. The t-shirts were kind of dowdy so I decided to make them into off-the-shoulder t-shirts... after ruining one (luckily, my least favourite), i decided to come up with a system to measure and cut the perfect off-the-shoulder t-shirt every single time.
Please practice with a t-shirt you do not care about... just in case.
For this DIY, you will need:
- A t-shirt :)
- A pair of scissors - amzn.to/2JnDsFI
- A tape measure - amzn.to/2qgCGSf (note: you can use a piece of string if you don't have a measuring tape)
- A marker or tailor's chalk (thank you to SirParcifal for this suggestion!) - amzn.to/2StvVJu
If you try this method, please leave me a comment to let me know! :)
Thanks for watching!!!

I love this 2024 trend with wide leg jeans!!!
My 6 year old daughter just watched this with me as we did the cut on her shirt and said "Can we tell her?" I asked what she wanted to say "That this really worked for us. That's what she asked in the end mom." 😂👌🏽😊

I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to finally google how to cut a t shirt like this, but I’m glad I finally did!! This is a PERFECT design!! Love how my shirts turned out and this will be my go to guide for all of my shirts I cut the neck out of (which is quite a few of them, I hate a tight neck, and this way is so much more beautiful and dainty). Thank you!!!!
This is what you call a classic video!! It is hard to believe you posted this 8 years ago!😮🤭 Whenever I’m about to cut up a t-shirt, I ALWAYS refer to this video! My t-shirts always come out perfect just like you said! Thank you so much!!☺️ Never take it down, never change it!😁

Perfect! The measurement, rounding down, leaving the back of the collar straight across, gentle stretching to create the "roll"...absolutely perfect. Thank you!
Perfect! Tried it and turned my t's into a more dressy fashion statement. Perfect amount of talking. I was able to cut while you were talking and that made the process easy and fast. Everything about this tutorial if FAB!

Girl, these off the shoulder t’s are my jam this summer. They’ve all turned out great thanks to you! Thank you for a great tutorial!
Literally just watched this then immediately cut up a t-shirt right after -- it turned out perfect! Loved the "stretching the cut up parts" part of the video, it really finishes the whole look. Thank you for this helpful video!
This tutorial was SOOO helpful. I was able to do it on my first try without screwing up my shirt! MAKE MORE TUTORIALS! THEY ARE SO HELPFUL!

Great tutorial. I actually cut 3 T'shirts and a sweater I definitely were gonna do away with them..and I didn't mess them up your instructions were on point. THANKS AGAIN
I KNEW THERE WAS A TRICK!!! Only cut the front of the neck, leaving the back in tact; otherwise, the neck is WAY TOO BIG and you've ruined the shirt....Thanks !

I just cut my first perfect tee shirt!!! Thank you! Now I’m going to cut up all my boring basic shirts and refresh my wardrobe!!
I actually found this on Halloween, I was searching all over for methods to do this for a sweatshirt that I really didn’t wanna ruin and this method helped so much and now I’ve use it on so many T-shirts that I used to not wear at all, now I wear them all the time, thank you so much
For one of my daughter's dance classes they need their tshirt cut and I just tried your method on one of her old tshirts and it looks super cute. And yes, definitely round down or go down an inch. Thank you!
Thank you so much for recording this "How to" was SO EASY to follow. I wanted an easy go to, to do this, went right to You Tube of course, and clicked on your video first!!! Fabulous, now I can make my shirts with a sexy, slouchy, neck line. So grateful to have your example. 🤩
This was so helpful! Thankyou! I'm going to a UV paintparty rave on Thursday and wanted an off the shoulder top to wear over my vest top and this work perfectly!!!! Thank you sooooo much!!xx
I have messed up soooooo many shirts trying this! Your video has helped me make this style shirt 100% better!!! So glad I came across your videos♥️
Super easy-to-follow instructions! My first shirt came out perfect! I cut up about 10 other t-shirts I never wear because I'm not too fond of the shape. Thank you!!!
I've done it! Twice so far thanks to you and this video!! Thanks so much for helping me to finally feel as though my clothes suit my style and fit my own petite frame. Love
Havent been able take the risk of ruining another t-shirt since high school but I decided to I tried it today. And the t-shirt turned out perfect!!! Thank you so much for this tutorial. This is actually the best tutorial on the internet❤️❤️❤️
I just did this to my old hello kitty shirt I used to use at the barn all the time. This came out perfectly and Ive made new life out of my old favorite go to shirt. Thank you!
This video was really helpful. Thanks for breaking it down so well. The trick about not cutting the back the same as the front was really helpful. No ruined t shirt for me....even on the first try! Thanks!

i wouldn't down vote this video, but she did the hard work so we don't have too? if u cut a shirt following the instructions u would be doing the same work. Plus, in the 80's it was just cut, stretch n go
I’m so glad I found this very detailed video! I just tried this on a shirt I got today that was super plain and weird fitting, and omg I’m obsessed with how it turned out!! I’m doing this to all my tshirts!
Just found this tutorial and it worked perfectly! I have an oversized t-shirt from a concert I went to with a friend. Such a fun memory, but I never wore the shirt before because it was so big and unflattering. Now, it’s so cute! Thank you for sharing 😊
Wow I kind of feel like a god damned idiot because you know how many t-shirts I’ve f’d up over the years???? I didn’t even measure. I just cut like a 1/2” around the collar in the front and pretty much just cut the collar off in the back. Perfect! Thank you so much!

This was perfect thank you, I was so afraid I was gonna wreck my tishirt but you explained it clearly and my shirt looks cool now thank you!
Thank you so much for making this! I need an off the shoulder shirt for my Roxy Lalonde cosplay and you basically saved me. I'll be trying it tomorrow morning.

I'd never realized you can actually cut your own shirt to make a off shoulder top. Thank you ma'am for making this video. I tried to look for off shoulder tops online and in stores but none of them have my size and they barely sale them online but Thanks to you now I can make one of my shirts a off shoulder top to match the kind of outfits I want. Thank you again 🤗🤗
Thank you. I was pretty much doing it the same but learned a couple of things from you. You are a VERY good teacher with thorough instructions. I loved this video!

This was so helpful! I, too, have ruined a handful of t-shirts trying to make them "off the shoulder" and ending up making them "off the torso" because the opening was too large. I wish I could give you more than a thumbs up. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your method it worked great for me! I made a slouchy off the shoulder sweatshirt it looks adorable! ❤️🤟
Great tutorial and adorible dog ^^
the fact that she is still liking comments after 12 years
Thank you for this video❣️ I watched a few before I found yours and I started cutting my shirt when I saw what you were teaching. I Love how my t-shirt came out first try❣️ 😂 I was in a quick need to spice up my shirt in a hurry and your instructions helped in a flash❣️ Thank you 🎉
This was so useful!! I was nervous to cut my sweatshirt, but it worked out really well.
Do you have a recommendation on how many sizes up give the best "slouchy" look overall?
Might be a silly question…but any changes if you are cutting a sweatshirt? I assume it’s all the same?
I've watched a lot of different videos trying to find the best way to do this and this one by far was the most informative and showed me some really great tips to make my shirts exactly like I want them! Great video, thank you!

Omg I love your dog and thanks for the video it really helped me! You are very gorgeous by the way!
FYI - don't use a marker - use sewing chalk! It will wash out! :}
I LOVE THIS TUTORIAL!! So simple and love the step by step. Thank you sooo much!!!!
YAY!! i'm so glad you both love the shirt. i've rescued a few of my hubby's shirts from the goodwill pile by cutting them and turning them into off-the-shoulder tees for me. :)

OMG! this tutorial saved my fashion life lol I'm a budding designer and I've been looking for a way to re-invent my old clothes. Thanks you so much for such clear instructions. This worked out perfectly.
Great video. I needed to make an 80’s shirt for my daughters school dance and this was easy and worked!
You really did that!!! Thank you so much , I’m so detail oriented I did it on a sweater shirt and it still came out so cute & comfy! Thank you
Omg. At first I was kind of hesitant about cutting my boring t shirt since I was afraid of it getting ruined, but it ended up looking soooo cute!!! Thank you sm :))!!!
Just tried this tutorial. I think it worked out great. I wish I could put a pic here, but anyway. I guess I could do a reel. Thank you so much for the instructions. I’ll remember this forever now!!
Watched it! Eye balled it ! Nailed it!!! I messed up by cutting both layers on other attempts! Never again ! Thanks !
Omg, this is GENIUS! Thank you soooop much for taking the time to research this and share your insights! You rock!
This is amazing, I used this method and then cut some slices out of my tee at the bottom, pulled it like you showed and it looks amazing! So much cuter than just a simple tee, slouchy and comfortable and no longer shapeless on me! So stylish!

I can not praise this video enough!!! Great instructions, easy to follow, and makes the perfect shirt ❤️❤️
Thanks so much for this, I've done this to so many tops and they haven't been ruined! So thank you ❤
This worked like a dream. Thanks for a great technique & easy to follow video.
thank you so much for your kind words! i'm happy to hear it worked out so well! :)
this was super super helpful! Thank you so much your technique is full proof I cut my t shirt perfectly the first try!
I used to over cut the neck lines of my shirts ALL the time. This was so helpful!!
Thanks so much for this! I had some of my fiance's old t-shirts I wanted to do this for, and this really helped a lot. Because his t-shirts are obv. a larger size than I would buy for myself, all I had to do was adjust the measurements a bit. Worked awesome, thanks again!
Thank you for this video!! I was looking everywhere for someone to show me how to do this!! Thank you!!!!
this so works! thank you! 2 out of 2 tees done, no wasted/ruined tees yet!
Your little dog is too cute!! Thanks for a great tutorial. Can't wait to give it a try!
I LOVED THIS! This method was super simple easy to follow. Thanks!
I have wanted to make one of these for a while. After watching your video, I went to the closet, grabbed a shirt and started your video again! I followed your directions and the top came out perfect! Thank you so much! I don't have any experience cutting-making any clothes, this top was my first! I can see I will be making a lot of these! Thank you again!
