How to Cut a Shirt to Hang Off the Shoulder

Knit fabric stretches, especially when it is cut. The trick to turning a crew-neck T-shirt into an off-the-shoulder over shirt is to cut as little as possible. Cut the neck out of a short-sleeved shirt and wear it over a neon-colored tank top so that just one strap shows. Or use a long T-shirt to make an off-the-shoulder swimsuit cover up. Cut the neck out of a sweatshirt and wear it over your leotard for a dance warm up. The open neck keeps you from getting too hot.

Instructions

    • 1

      Cut the collar off a T-shirt or sweatshirt. Cut just below the stitching line.

    • 2

      Try the shirt on. Pull the shirt down over your shoulder to gently stretch the neckline. If the neck opening is large enough, you are done.

    • 3

      Cut the neck 1/2 inch below the previous cutting line if the opening was too small.

    • 4

      Continue to try on the shirt and cut the neckline 1/2-inch until you are pleased with the shirt.
