Step 3Adding the Drawstring.
After you've turned the sewn up shirt right side out again, go back to the bottom hem that you've just sewn up all the way around. Get your scissors and cut a small slit somewhere on that hem, big enough to fit your rope or string through. I did mine on the back of the shirt, or the side where the design is not present.
After cutting your small slit, get your rope, string, or para cord, and hook a safety pen through it. Use this safety pen to guide the string through the hem you've sewn up all the way around. Push it forward, then slide the shirt past it. Repeat this until the string is all the way through.
To keep the string from tangling or knotting itself up too badly, I took a 2x4 LEGO brick and made two holes in it. I used the two holes on the back, on either side of the middle for my guides. I then slide the strings through either of these holes to keep them in place, and tied the strings together at the end to keep the LEGO from coming off.
