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!!!

Someone on 2024?
Yoooo
wsggg
Yeaa
meeee
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." 😂👌🏽😊
awwwww that is so sweet!!! please tell your daughter i say, "thank you!!" you both really made my day :)
Aww she thinks ahead lol
THANK YOU for this!! Your instructions were easy to follow and my cut shirts turned out beautiful each time. The chapters were a game changer too. I had to come back to this tutorial and I could easily just go to the section I needed. Awesome!
this is so cute, it made me smile
the fact that she is still liking comments after 12 years
Who’s here in 2023 when this style has become trendy again 😭
me girlie
I’m here in 2024😂😭
me girl
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!😁
Same! And now it's been about 12 years. 😂
I was not born
Perfect! The measurement, rounding down, leaving the back of the collar straight across, gentle stretching to create the "roll"...absolutely perfect. Thank you!
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!
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!
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 !
thanks for watching!
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!
thank you so much for your kind words - i really appreciate it!
I lost my concentration when your pup showed up in frame. How cute!!
hahaa thank you!!
Me too!!
Me too, your dog started off looking at the camera and then stared at it for a long time and then walked toward the camera.Too funny!!!
Ha! Us too! My daughter kept saying she wanted to see the puppy again 😁
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
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!
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!
+Maliah Jobe thank you!!! i'm really happy you found it helpful. :)
@Amber Atevalu - sorry i can't reply directly to your comment... yes, you can use the same method for a sweatshirt!
It didn't sock
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!!!
It turned out so nice that I think I'm going to do this with every single shirt on my entire closet
i'm glad it worked out!
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!
+veronica enck thank you!! i'm really happy you found it helpful! :)
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
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 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 cut up a whole bunch of my tees too and it really is like having a brand new wardrobe! i'm so glad you found this video helpful! :) x
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♥️
I’m so glad you suggested a practice shirt. I ended having to go out to the dollar store in the middle of this tutorial to purchase a new and better pair of scissors for $1.35. Great instructions- ready to do this on the actual top I wanna wear tonight.😊
@MC Trocio - you can use a string or ribbon cut to the length you need and use that as a guide. :)
petitepearstyle great idea!
Do you have a recommendation on how many sizes up give the best "slouchy" look overall?
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’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!
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
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!
Same, lol! Just glad they were on old, too-big shirts anyway. Now I can get new t shirts do to this to!
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 😊
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!
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.
Oh, pansexual flag, nice mate!
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. 🤩
i tried it exactly measurement as you did... worked perfectly on me!! i wish i saw it earlier... already destroyed one of my fav old sweater
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!
thank you so much for your comment!! :)
It's 5 in the morning while I'm trying this out! Hopefully it turns out as good as yours!
i hope it worked out!
i'm happy to hear that!! i love cutting up my hubby's old tees. :)
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.
Thank you for this tutorial. I needed to cut a t-shirt for an '80's vibe for a show I am in. First try and it turned out totally awesome!😉 Thanks for the tips to measure, not cut the back of the neck, and to roll. Very helpful!!
Me too! We're doing Flashdance for our jazz recital. 46 and living it up.
This was so useful!! I was nervous to cut my sweatshirt, but it worked out really well.
I don't know why anyone would down vote this when the tutorial is literally perfect. You did the hard work so we don't have to, and I, for one, really appreciate it! Thank you for sharing this with us!!
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
Thanks girl ❤ I watched multiple videos trying to find the best way to do this and you made it so simple to understand and it looks perfect.
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 🤗🤗
This was very well explained thank you so much!!
+Kastle Priebe thank you!! :)
Kastle Priebe fshajrhddfz As my d He rid app to do do be) go cousins f so cute is it r look hot f
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!
thank you for your comment!!
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is actually a really good tutorial! Now I can make one for my girlfriend. That I don't have...
Well anyway, great video! =D
+和ァ独 lol thank you!
Yo do you have that girlfriend yet?
@@lynndoesntexist lmaoo I wonder
Can you use the same method for v neck shirts?
yes, i think it could work if the v isn't too deep!
This tutorial is the best! I've always felt strangled by t-shirts and now, I love them. I just chop out the neckline and make it slouchy fabulous.
One tip for anyone like me with shaky hands/not the neatest person with scissor: get a rotary cutter from Michael's and a self-healing cutting board. It makes the neckline cut super smooth, works really well when you flip the half neckline piece over to mirror it and it's a breeze for cleaning up any rough edges after your cut.
thank you so much for your comment and for the tip!!
thank you so much for your kind words! i'm happy to hear it worked out so well! :)
This was awesome! Worked out perfectly! Thanks for your help :)
thank you!! :)
*thanks for being so precize and clear !*
thank you for watching!! :)
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!
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!
3:37 The little dog is so cute >.
:) thank you!
AHHHHHH! IT WORKED....GREAT! THANKS!!!
I just tried and it worked!! I have a small stack of tees to do now! Thanks from a very hip grandma.
This video tutorial is great!! Very easy to follow. I now have two super cute off-the-shoulder tees 😄 thanks for posting!
FYI - don't use a marker - use sewing chalk! It will wash out! :}
Great tutorial and adorible dog ^^
My favorite tee shirt’s collar was warping and Ive been pretty upset about it for a while. Was gonna just throw it out but my friend gave me this video and now I get to enjoy it way longer
This worked SOOOOOO perfectly!! I have been hoarding a bunch of old concert t-shirts in men's sizes (because that's all they sold) and now they are transformed into the cutest ladies gym shirts!
Totally worked & luckily on the first try! Thanx
the dog at 3:32 loll
+Kaitlin McDermott :)
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. :)
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!
yay!! i'm happy to hear your tee turned out well!! :)
Omg I love your dog and thanks for the video it really helped me! You are very gorgeous by the way!
going to try one tonight!! You are too cute!! Thx for the tutorial!
I cut the hole too big on an off shoulder I made. I used regular and rhinestone safety pins and cheap chain to make 3 straps to help hold it up.
Countless compliments. :) great way to still be able to use one you love.
I did this on two of my sweatshirts and got both of them right! I didn't practice on an old shirt first. I love how they turned out! This tutorial was so nice and simple :)
that is great to hear!! thank you for your comment. :)
This is so helpful!!! Can you be my mom?
too much talking omg
ikr omg
Deanna Wallace😀😐🤐😑😲 MY FACE AS I WAITED TO LEARN 😂😂
Deanna I agree.. totally.. but other than that good tutorial..:)
Yessss
@@AuthenblissityMain 😂😂
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!
Thank you so much! The hem of my Coheed and Cambria shirt is all ripped from age, and I love the shirt with a passion (it's also a size bigger), and I love the way it looks when it's off the shoulder. I have to wear sweaters to cover the rips, which disappoint me greatly, because since it's so big, it covers a lot, which makes me look bigger if I put on a sweater. I'm ready to give this tutorial a go!
i hope the tutorial works out for you!! please let me know how it goes! :)
iv done the exact same to my C&C Top nice to know theirs more fans out there !
I never really tried to cut any of my shirts but after this tutorial I had the curragh to give it a first try and ... It turned out PERFECTLY ! The fit is really perfect and I was amazed how easy and fast it was ! I would like to thank you for this great tutorial, love and kisses Mouna from Belgium !
hooray!!! i'm so glad it worked out! sending hugs overseas to you!! :)
:) lots of "off-shoulders"-hugs back
Your little dog is too cute!!
Thanks for a great tutorial. Can't wait to give it a try!
thank you! i've only tried this method on t-shirts so i'm not sure how well it would work on other materials. i am thinking some non-stretch fabrics might fray really easily so you may have to sew the cut edges...
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 🎉
You shared this 10 years ago....but I just tried it & I LOVE it!!!! Thank You!!💙
Hi, I remembered your video from a few years ago but didn't try it. I'm excited that I found you again and going to cut probably 2 t-shirts today! I love off the shoulder tops!! I'm tiny (5"ft) so now I can cut them perfectly to my size. Your instructions & tips are awesome! Thanks!! :D
Thank you so much!! Totally used your method annd after 1 try on a practice shirt, tried it on my Adele Concert t-shirt .
It came out great!!!!!! love it! And didn’t ruin it.
Thanks for sharing!
Used this method on a t-shirt and a hoodie that I never wore because it was too tight around the neck. It worked great on both! Thanks so much! :)
thanks! i've never tried it on a hoodie but that would look so good!! :)
petitepearstyle It's very cute! It makes a cute off the shoulder sweater :)
Thank you! I am large busted and high collar t-shirts never looked good...until now! Thanks for this tip. I have been cutting up all my t-shirts all afternoon. It looks so good on its own or with a lacy cami underneath. It's like a have a brand new wardrobe!
Enjoyed your tutorial! I have several t-shirts which I've wanted to wear but the neckline was too tight and the bottom was too narrow... followed your instructions and with other t's I just cut the ribbed neckline off because I did not necessarily need the drop shoulder and what a difference it made !!!! I then cut the sleeve and bottom hems as you did. Thank you for your very well-done informative video...
thank you for watching and for your kind words!
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! ❤️🤟
I just bought a shirt and came home to cut it. I feel like I should of went over a little more on the neck line because when I tried to make it off the shoulder on both sides I felt like my neckline was still to small 😐 but over all it did turn out pretty good
Awesome video!! I just purchased this adorable Minnie Mouse pullover and I told my husband it would have been even cuter off the shoulder. Sat down today and watched this video and followed everything step by step and this shirt is extremely cute now!! Thank you so much!!
+prettysmile86 i'm so glad it worked out well!! the minnie mouse pullover sounds so cute!
Watched it! Eye balled it ! Nailed it!!! I messed up by cutting both layers on other attempts! Never again ! Thanks !
OMG u dont understand how happy i am that i found this video, seriously! i followed your steps and i finally cut it exactly how i wanted! thank you so much :'D
yay!! so glad it worked out! :)
Thanks so much! We're going on an 80s cruise and I just did two t-shirts with your instructions! Thanks!
I'm going to an NKOTB concert tomorrow and this is going to be perfect for my "way too tight neck" concert T that my hubby preordered. Cannot wait to cut it up tonight. Thank you! Perfect explanation and exhibit!!!
You saved my shirt!!! I ordered a Johnny Depp shirt and it came way too big- you saved it for me!
Thanks for this! Wish this was up two years ago, couldn't find anything even close to as helpful as yours is now. It scared me away from cutting my necklines! lol. I shall now try again. :)
This is the best tutorial!!! I'm saving this video forever! I just did the exact same measurement as yours and it turned out perfect. Thank you so much! :)
love it. First shirt was intended to be a "sleep shirt" just in case i need a 2 or 3 practice-shirt learning curve lol... turned out wonderful on first try! thank you so much for posting the video. Clear, precise instructions and a wonderful help!
Kristy Vairetta thank you for watching and for your comment! :)
Thanks for the great tutorial! Just a couple of notes after trying this a couple of times, cut the bottom 1" longer than the length of where you want it to end up, this will compensate for the 1" roll that happens when you stretch it out, you can always trim more length but you can never put it back! Also before you trim the collar, start by trimming the bottom of the T shirt first, this will allow you to assess how much the fabric will stretch, different fabric blends will stretch differently. If it stretches a lot then trim the collar much less than the tutorial states, you can always cut off more if needed.
P.S. Another update, ONLY try this with CREW neck T's. Tried this with a scoop neck, and the collar didn't really roll and just became a bigger scoop, perhaps due to the curve of the cut?... Also fabric makes a big difference, tried this with a poly cotton blend and it didn't really roll or stretch, so would definitely stick to 100% cotton if you want the fabric to curl, unless you like the laser cut look, in which case a blended fabric will do the job.
I am SO glad I found your video! Hubby and I are going on vacation on Monday and I have these two cool shirts that I did and it came out great!!! thanks :)
Rochelle Green that's awesome!! hope you have a great trip! :)
It worked !! Thank you so much, I was so scared of just eyeballing it. Your advice was perfect 🤩
