1. Iron both washed and dried T-shirts.
2. Turn the men's t-shirt inside out. Cut off the sleeves from it with scissors.
3. Align the t-shirt and lay the female t-shirt on top of it, aligning the shoulder lines and the neckline. Gently wrap the sleeves of the female T-shirt inward along the seam. Cut off the unnecessary parts of the men's t-shirt, focusing on the outlines of the female and remembering the allowances for the seams.
4. Now you need to cut out new sleeves. To do this, use the sleeve of a women's t-shirt as a pattern, aligning the bottom lines of the sleeves. Draw a new line of sleeves on the fabric and cut it out. Check that the line of okat of the sleeve corresponded to the length of the line of the armhole.
5. Sew on the machine or overlock side seams of the T-shirt, seams of the sleeves, then pin the sleeves with pins and sew the sleeves.
6. If necessary, shorten the new T-shirt and work on the bottom of the product.
