how can I make a shirt smaller?

Question

I want to make ma tees fit slim fit....and make then shrink and also make them fit me skinny like...how can I do thiz?

Answer 1

There is this tool you can get at any fabric store, called a seam cutter. Turn the t-shirt inside out and use that tool to take the seam out, fit it to your liking and then pin it where you would like to have it re-sewn. Then sew it back up and cut the excess fabric off and there you go!

I used to do that all the time when I was in high school, I'd get tired of the same ol' clothing and re-make them into other types. Have fun! & be creative! You'll get a lot of compliments!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

It's funny that when I was in school people who wore their clothes too small or extremely tight were called "geeks" --- amazing how kids now consider this "cool" !!

My friend's daughter said to keep drying the shirt 4 or 5 times and it'll shrink to fit!

Answer 3

My father in law is a tailor and owns 14 retail shops and he just hollered out... tell her get a seamstress to gather the excess material by inserting back darts into the shirt. This will give a slimline appearance without the cost of re-cutting the shirt.
