Gym tank cutting

 Are you anything like me and have A MILLION different t- shirts that just sit in your closet or drawer, never to be used?! Are you sick of buying $30 gym tanks just for them to get ruined because you sweat like a pig and they get stretched out, and gross looking after a few wears? Same booboo... same!!! Honestly, I would almost rather wear one of these t-shirt tanks anyway because they are so comfy.. I really hate wearing skin tight tanks at the gym. They drive me crazy! I have been asked by many to share how I cut up my shirts, and honestly I mostly got my cutting technique from Dana Bailey, here is her YouTube link https://youtu.be/HORdtWfXums
I want to say a quick thank you to those who have reached out to me and follow my blog. I know it isn't much, but I really enjoy this. If you ever have ideas for me or want to hear something please feel free to contact me and let me know!! I love having people throw out new ideas for me!!

Step 1- Get a t-shirt of choice
Step 2- To make the arm holes even I bring the bottom of the shirt up to where I would like to have the desired length of the arm hole. I usually cut it about an inch under the shirt sleeve.

Step 3- Once arms are cut, then I cut out the neck. I don't mind having the back lower so I just cut both sides fairly even if I can. Some times I will cut the front of the shirt more, as shown here.
Step 4- I like the razer back shirt look so I cut the back in more. Don't worry to much about them being exact, I highly doubt anyone will notice if it's uneven. 

Here is how the back looked, I sometimes like to add a little something to the shirt so have fun with it. I cut out little slits, and tied them together. Just gives the shirt a little spunk 😉


Here is how the front looks. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. You can get creative with them, there really is no wrong way to cut up a old shirt!
