I’ve had quite a few emails regarding my cut RB tees and how to do it. Rather than repeating myself over and over again. Heres the instructions for you all!!
Theres a few different ways of doing it, its completely up to you how you want them to look but heres the basic techniques.Make sure you have sharp scisoors too!!
Fold the tee in half lengthways with the print on the outside. Keeping the tee really flat.
From the folded edge where the ribbed neckline is start cutting around the neck…you can either follow the ribbing or for a wider neckline cut it outwards more so it finishes closer to the start of the sleeve.
Once done, start on the sleeves I usually like the cap sleeve look, but for the tank I started cutting from the underarm and literally cut the whole sleeve off, using the seam as the guide…cut the seam off too!
Just make sure you cut one sleeve first, then us it as a guide for the 2nd one….4 layers of fabric is too thick to cut through all together
You can also cut a strip off the sleeve and turn it into a tie. this is what I did on the green tee, for one of the black tees I cut the sleeve and simply tied it as the end.
The good thing is you can be as creative as you want, there really is no limitations.
Just test on an old tee first for a practice run!

Many years ago, LOL, we used to take our tees cut off the bottom seam and cut thin strips from the bottom up to just under our bra line. Because of the bias of the material these strips would curl into thin rolls and look like fringe. We would either leave the fringe as is or string it with beads. The same treatment can be done on the sleeves.
