I bought some shirts that are Large thinking it will shrink. Because when I buy Medium t-shirts it usually shrink so small I can't wear them anymore. But with these Large t-shirts I bought, I didn't read the tag that said it was pre-shrunk. So now I'm stuck with large t-shirts. Was wondering if anyone know a way to shrink pre-shrunk t-shirts.

I usually try not to shrink clothing, therefore I know how to shrink clothing. If you wash in hot water then dry on high heat it will get pretty small. I think cotton, wool, and other natural fibers shrink the most.

Thats a tough one. I am not sure if they will shrink any further, but a couple washes in hot hot water and a hot dryer, may shrink them..

If your tshirts are labelled as pre-shrunk, I am afraid there is nothing you can do. Maybe you could sew them by taking them in at the back or something.
Big tip....always read labels before you buy anything!!

Be careful using hot water, that could fade the color. Try drying them on regular(high) heat in the dryer, full cycle.

I usually cut the bottom off with scissors, this also creates a nice curled up " look" at the bottom hem
