Step 1 Cut...

First, get a T-shirt.

Draw a line up the middle with a fabric pen.

Get your scissors and cut up the shirt along the line you just made.

Then, cut off the sleeves along the seam.

How can you stop the cut edges from fraying? is it just a matter of folding the cut edges and sewing them closed?

ace shirt !!
i did this for one of my old shirts a while ago
my friend recently did it for one of his Thudercats t-shirts that had got too small
im currently working on converting my old school blazer into some old-school style chique, im adding a grey hoody-style hood under the collar to hide the seams, addin some paddin to the shoulder for wear and tear, and gonna add me some lining to
any ideas which stitch i should for the lining of it? or any particular material i should use? i was thinkin of a red silk as its a blue blazer but i wasnt sure.
any comments on this would be greatly appreciated
