What to Do with That Shirt That Doesn't Fit

You have to have the shirt but it is a size too small. What can you do? If it is a pullover of stretchy material, you have the option of cutting out the sleeves and turning it into a sleeveless tank. Usually when a top is too tight, it is too tight under the arms. Cutting out the sleeves will eliminate this problem. 


If you want a hemmed look, cut about 1/2 inch outside of the sleeve. It will naturally turn in and will appear hemmed or if you are good at sewing then simply hem it. If you want the ragged, tough-girl look which I prefer, cut immediately inside the sleeve seam. Viola! You have a new shirt that fits.
