I was asked a while back to do a DIY vest demonstration so here it is. I wasn't exactly sure how I should do this because I don't exactly have a third arm to hold the cam while I snip away and then isn't really a specific technique but here is the way I do it:
I fold the t-shirt in half and snip both sides a mark so I know not to make one arm-hole bigger than the other.
The hand with the blue hair band is my mother's. I find it easier to cut if I have someone else stretching out the t-shirt for me.
Make sure you cut just before the seam.
Make two marks on either side of the collar.
Cut the front of the collar off - the amount depends on how low you want the vest to be at the front. Cut the back of the collar off but not as much as the front unless you want it to swoop down quite low.
And there we go, that's it - simple as apple crumble. Another tip is to take scissors that cut smoothly. I don't have too much to ramble on about right now besides the fact that I CANNOT WAIT FOR MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS TO BEGIN. In just under 3 weeks I will be graduating and I will finally be able to breathe. Four oral exams to go, and that's me done with everything.
PS, I'm loving Katy Perry's song ET right now (without Kanye West, though)
