Looking Fly on a Dime: how to cut an oversized shirt
Let me start off by saying I'm so not the DIY person. Though I love the idea of do-it-yourself projects, sometimes the process has too many steps and is so intimidating, I give up before I even start. So that's why when I actually do anything DIY related, it's insanely easy.
I always find cheap t-shirts while thrift shopping and sometimes they have really fun designs or cute sayings. Unfortunately, they tend to be oversized. That's why I love the idea of DIY projects for shirts that are your style but not necessarily perfect for your shape.
Check out 5 ways to cut an oversized t-shirt.
