How to Cut a Long Sleeve Shirt into a Tank Top

Transforming a long sleeve shirt into a tank top is an easy and cost-effective way to repurpose your wardrobe. Whether you want a casual gym outfit or a trendy summer top, this DIY project requires only a few simple tools and steps.

1. Gather Your Supplies

• A long sleeve shirt
• Fabric scissors
• Chalk or fabric marker
• Measuring tape or ruler
• Pins (optional)

2. Mark the Cutting Lines

• Sleeves: Use a chalk or fabric marker to draw a line along the shoulder seam to remove the sleeves.
• Armholes: For a tank top look, create slightly wider armholes.
• Neckline (Optional): If desired, adjust the neckline for a deeper or scoop design.

3. Cut Carefully

• Start by cutting along the marked lines.
• Use sharp fabric scissors for clean and even edges.
• If you’re unsure, cut slightly less and adjust later.

4. Refine the Edges

• To prevent fraying, hem the edges or use fabric glue.
• For a raw, edgy look, leave the edges as they are.

5. Try It On and Adjust

• Put on the modified shirt and check the fit.
• Make any additional cuts for better armhole or neckline proportions.

6. Style Your New Tank Top

• Pair it with jeans or shorts for a casual summer look.
• Wear it to the gym or for outdoor activities.
