Turn A T-Shirt Into A Tank Top DIY Tips:

Turn old clothes into new looks and give yourself more cute outfit options to choose from. Utilize these cutting tips and techniques to accomplish a cute DIY workout tank top from t-shirt. 

• Cutting Tips: When working with very fine lightweight jersey knit, be careful to only pick up the back layer of the tee. You don’t want to accidentally cut through the front layer of the shirt at the same time. 
• Fabric Glue: Always test the fabric glue on a scrap piece to make sure it works before beginning the full application. Smooth the surface and let the glue completely dry overnight before trying it on the clothes. Test the strength of the bond and make sure that you are using a permanent fabric glue rather than temporary.
• Save the Remnant: It’s always good habit to save leftover pieces of fabric to use for another project. From sleeves, to neckbands or even hemming, scrap fabric is always useful to have around.
• Hemming: Since this tutorial is a no-sew project, i would like to share some clothing making basics. When you cut the t-shirt, you will see the cutline keep curling. Don’t worry! The knit fabric won’t fray, so you can leave it as it is!
• Measuring Tape: Make use of a tape measure when working on a garment. The flexible tape is quite different than a plastic ruler, it can easily measure curved lines in longer distances.

   Pro tip: I recommend drawing a smooth curve following the sleeve line.
   
3. Then, cut along the chalk line to make the new arm holes.
   
4. Now, lay the sleeveless shirt flat and fold the shirt in half.
   
5. When cutting make sure you only cut through the back piece and not the front piece.
   
6. From the back center neckline, measure 1” across and glue. Then, overlap with the back piece and secure it in place.
   
7. When the glue is completely dried, try on your DIY no sew t-shirt refashion and tie a bow in the back.

I recommend using an oversized t-shirt with a wide neckline that has modal ingredients. The fabric will feel lightweight and also keep you airy during a hard workout.
