InstructJS.cachedRefs.spotspot181938=spotspot181938; }); step 2match up the t-shirtsYou are going to use the t shirt that fits as a guide to keep you from cutting too small.Carefully match up the tops of the sleeves and the centerlines, keeping them individually folded and with the smaller one placed on top of the other.500x500 : FC5H5Q72ETEQEC1CXB (0)i InstructJS.load(['instruct','imagespot'], function () {var spotspot181939 = new ImageSpot( 'spot181939', { loadID: 'FC5H5Q72ETEQEC1CXB', loadIMG: 'http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FC5/H5Q7/2ETEQEC1CXB/FC5H5Q72ETEQEC1CXB.MEDIUM.jpg', editimagedata: 'false', imageDataEditorPlace: 'null', showInfo: true, size: 'MEDIUM' } );

InstructJS.cachedRefs.spotspot181939=spotspot181939; }); step 3Cut hereThis is the fun part-Start cutting the shirt in strips up to the point where the other shirt starts.Feel free to change the width of the strips, keeping in mind that the thicker the strip, the larger might be the hole where you'll be knotting.The pattern I used here makes for a "kimono" styled open armpit.You might want to experiment.500x500 : FH6T6J1MQUEQEC1CYG (0)i InstructJS.load(['instruct','imagespot'], function () {var spotspot181940 = new ImageSpot( 'spot181940', { loadID: 'FH6T6J1MQUEQEC1CYG', loadIMG: 'http://www.instructables.com/files/deriv/FH6/T6J1/MQUEQEC1CYG/FH6T6J1MQUEQEC1CYG.MEDIUM.jpg', editimagedata: 'false', imageDataEditorPlace: 'null', showInfo: true, size: 'MEDIUM' } );

InstructJS.cachedRefs.spotspot181940=spotspot181940; }); step 4Knot the stripsStart knotting each strand on both sides.I opted to keep some untied for an easier fit.It's done!
