hi my name is Gabby with the style workshop and today I'm going to show you how to cut a t-shirt into a racerback tank top so you begin with your t-shirt inside-out you fold it Center front so your side seams match and your shoulder seams match now we're just going to begin by cutting it into a basic tank top by cutting outside the stitch line of the sleeves and then opening up the shirt and cutting along the neckline we start with the side seam and then cut outside the stitch line of the neck so once you have your basic tank cut out you lay your back facing towards you and with chalk or pen we're going to mark the racerback shape so we're going to start at the top here at the top of the shoulder and we're going to scoop in so you create a Halfmoon shape and you cut that out so once you cut out one side of the racerback you use that Halfmoon shape and you put it on the other side and use that as your cutting guide you can trace around it and then just cut around that mark to add more visual interest to this racerback top you can use the bottom bands as back ties so you cut the bottom band outside the stitch line take your bottom band that you made into a cord stretch it to make it longer and just wrap to conceal the shoulder seams of the racerback tank top you can use those Halfmoon shapes as ties and it creates a decorative interest and now you've just made a t-shirt into a racerback tank top hope this has been helpful if you have any questions you can reach me at the style workshop site comm
