Just get creative and do it anyway you like. It should look okay if you have any sewing skills.

Yes, but it depends on the fabric. If you cut a hole it may just unravel and make a mess of the shirt. Take a shirt that has buttonholes, and look closely at how they did that....which usually is done on a sewing machine. Go to a fabric store, and ask them to give you a simple pattern. That should give you all the directions, including how to measure the button spaces, etc. so it doesn't look all crooked.
Most likely, it would be less costly in the long run to just buy a shirt with buttons, and that is why so few people sew these days.

whats it for? if it is for a play our holloween yea do it the way you said and sew some buttons on one side, if it for something like a party a funeral etc.. Go buy a button up t shirt and if you cant afford a shirt at a store there is always a salvation army if you dont want to spend the money at a store.

You would need more fabric to bind the edge of the cut, and then add a panel on one side to sit behind the other side and hold the buttons. Then add buttonholes in the side without the panel. The binding should be wide enough to hold the buttonholes so they wouldn't stretch out.
Not an easy thing to do.

pay a seamstress about 5 to 10 times what you paid for the t-shirt. hard job. better to buy a readily available button front t. a henley, i believe it is called. cheap and looks good. cheaper to buy some long john's and cut off bottom. you know nothing about sewing and button holing etc. no offense. lotta work for one shirt. bad idea. sorry.

cut it down the middle turn over each side and hem them. add buttons which you can find at any fabric store and on the other side cut holes and sew around them so the fabric doesn't tear.

do no longer precisely understand the way it felt coz no longer between the werewolves i knew bear in mind something interior the time of the transition. the main suitable project they bear in mind is being somebody staring on the completed moon. Then 'pooh' - no longer something - after that they comprehend they have been sound asleep bare under a tree in a park. actually like that ;-)

go to your local fabric shop, those ladies should have ideas or even patterns. or check out DIY websites, maybe even try it on a demo shirt so you dont ruin the good one you want to do it to, if it doesnt work out
