Sometimes I shop in the guys section (hey, growing up, my mom bought my clothes from the boys department, so why stop now?) A few months ago, I picked up a MAN SHIRT from Urban Outfitters for $5. It was a size LARGE ... but nothing a little shirt reconstruction can't fix. Now I'm not a sewing pro, by any means, and I've never followed an actual sewing pattern in my life... but anyway, I try. So this is my first little HOW TO:
You need:
1) an old man's shirt 2) cloth-cutting scissors 3) a sewing machine
And here is my attempt at explaining my shirt reconstruction process:
Remember to sew everything while the T-shirt is inside-out!
I forgot to take a "BEFORE" picture of me wearing the man shirt, but the finished product is a much more fitted shirt with slightly smaller sleeves and a wide scoop neck.

Let me know if you decide to try it!!! =)
(oh, and unlike me, you might want to iron the shirt before you wear it) haha!
HAHAHAHAHHA~ Yes.. please iron your clothes for once :P
