Step-by-Step Instructions:

  • Put the shirt on and decide how short you want it. Use a marker or chalk to make a small dot just below where you want the final hem to be. Remember, it's always better to cut less, as you can always cut more later.
  • Take the shirt off and lay it flat. Cut a straight line across the shirt, about 2-3 inches below the mark you made.

  • Now, make a vertical cut up the centre of the front of the shirt, from the new hemline to about 3-4 inches up. This creates two flaps.
  • Put the shirt back on and tie the two front flaps into a knot. You can wear it as is or tuck the knot under for a cleaner look.
