transforming a t-shirt into a girlie

we all know the problem (particularly petite women like myself): there's this band we love, we want so much to buy the t-shirt but they only offer models for men, or the girlies they have are boring and all the cool designs are available only for men.

now, all you need to change that is:

• thread
• needle
• scissors
• kajal (black or white, depends on the color of your t-shirt)
• your favorite girlie

turn the t-shirt inside out and lay it on a table, stretching it perfectly straight, mind the seams. try to make it as perfect as possible. then lay your favorite girlie on top. it's the template.

draw the shape of your girlie with the kajal. you should get its outline on the larger t-shirt.

for the sleeves, just continue the line until the edge.

now, gather all your courage, it's time to cut! shorten the sleeves right above the seam. cut the bottom exactly at the outline and for the sides leave an edge as thick as your forefinger.

sew the sides from the bottom to the end of the sleeves. try to make small stitches, it should look neat!

when you're done with sewing, turn the t-shirt on the right side. it's time to prep the sleeves.

roll up the sleeves twice, as thick as your forefinger. secure the upper and lower parts with small stitches.

there you've got your girlie. now you can say "been there, done that, got the t-shirt".
