Here's how i did it!
Materials :
1. Old Men Shirt
2. Fabric Scissors
3. Push Pins
4. Fabric Chalk
4. Elastics ( I used a 1/2" inch )
1st lay down the shirt on a flat surface with the sleeves on the side.
2nd, measure the part where you want your off shoulder to be. There is no right or wrong way on cutting it off as long as its a straight line and you must not cut below the connecting part of the sleeves. ( Unless you dont want it to have sleeves. Get it? hahaha )
**TIPS : Use one of the buttons as guide ! **
Like this! :D
Snip.....!
3rd, fold and pin about 1/4" inches and 3/4" inches again so you can prevent fraying and create a loop for the elastic.
**TIPS : You'll fold in the width of the loop according to the width of your elastic but add a little more so it won't be hard to put in the elastic. Ex : my elastic is 1'2" inches so i fold in 3/4" inches of loop "
4th, sew in the part where you pin.
**TIPS : Sew it close the the fold line. **
5th, I forgot to take photo of this process but of course finally put in the elastic band. The length of the elastic band depends on ur comfortable level as long as it doesnt fall off lol. Lastly, hand sew or machine sew to close the opening and you are done!
Tadaaaaaaa!
