Men's Shirt to V-Neck Top Refashion

For this tutorial, you'll need an old shirt. I bought this one at the thrift store and it cost me $2.50. This is a size 6 and the shirt was an XL. Probably, you'll need more than one shirt if you want to make a bigger size. The straps are made with the seams of the shirt. The pattern contains front and back pieces (x2) and front and back facings (cut on fold). * Straps Length size 4-6: 8.75" (x4) size 8-10: 9.125" (x4) size 12-14: 9.5" (x4) size 16-18: 9.875" (x4) * This is an indicative measure. Before cutting them, try the top on and choose your desired length.
