…Make Your Own Gym Shirt…

There are ways you can make your own unique t-shirts (and other tops/pants) to wear to the gym.

I get asked so often where i get my shirts or how i cut my shirts to wear to the gym. It is actually pretty easy!! And it would be wise to practice with old items just in case you mess up

FIRST:

My favorite thing to do:  Go Thrift shopping or to Garage sales!

These are the BEST places to find great designs of shirts and other clothing that you can alter to wear to the gym

Here is exactly what i do:

You will need: You r article of clothing, a pair of scissors, and a flat surface

Lay your shirt down and you can use chalk or something else to mark where you want to start your cut.  This is where you can cut it as high or low as you would like. The lower you cut it the more skin/bra that may be exposed.

Make a cut through both layers of the shirt including cutting off the sleeve.

Once you finish, take the piece of cloth that was cut off and COVER it over the opposite side.  This can be used as the template to cut the other side so that both sides are even.  Carefully follow the edge of the shirt and cut.

Once you cute both side try it on.  You can take away more cloth if you want it to hang off of you more or like i stated before expose more of your body.

BE SURE TO TAKE THE SHIRT OFF WHEN YOU ARE CUTTING

It can be very hard and possibly dangerous to cut the shirt while you are wearing it. I do not advise wearing the shirt and cutting it.

So once you come across any kool, old, colorful, or unique shirts (you can even do this with sweaters or long sleeve shirts you find) you can now make it a fashion accessory while you are working out!

Try it out! Let me know what you are able to come up with!
