My husband has several shirts that he doesn’t wear anymore. They were in really good shape and I hated to just send them off to the thrift store. I decided to try and remake one of them into a tank top for my boys. It turned out to be very easy! All you need is a shirt to use as a pattern.
Lay the small tank top over the larger one. Line up the necklines of the two shirts. Trim the bottom off remembering to leave enough extra for the hem.
Trim the sides the same way. I used the piece from the first side as a pattern to cut the second so that I cut the same amount off both sides.
Trim the shoulders the same way.
Sew up the side seams and shoulders. If the back shoulders are wider, just stretch the front a little to make them line up. The hem can be sewed or serged depending on your preference.
Voila! A new tank top. Doesn’t my model look thrilled?
