T-shirts are a staple in everyone’s closet, but that doesn’t mean they can’t be a little more interesting! These quick DIYs are always popular for the upcoming spring and summer since they’re great for loungewear or an easy beach cover up, and this one takes just a few minutes.
First, you’ll need a basic tee – I strongly recommend something from the Mood Shop, like this Thread design that I used (they’re so soft and comfy!).
Begin by cutting the v-neck or crew neck into more of a boat neck shape. For this, a 24″ French curve worked perfectly.
Once that’s done, you’ll want to mark every 1/2″. Begin from the middle and work your way out so your cuts end up being symmetrical.
At this point, I used the French curve again, matching the top of the Mood logo with the bottom of the sleeve to create a slight curve. If you’re following along, use your previous marks to draw vertical lines from the curve to about 1/4″ from your new neckline.
I cut the last inch and a half off the sleeves, and then began cutting along the chalk marks, stopping about 1″ from the sleeve seam.
Once you get all the way across you can try it on and see if you want to keep all the sleeves or take a bit more off the bottom – it’s all personal preference!
Are you going to try your own? Which Mood shirt are you going to get?
