TUPAC IS BACK!

Have you ever ordered a shirt, paid for shipping, waited and tracked the package only for it to be too small? My son ordered this shirt online in a large, but it was too small.  Well, I have a solution. And since, Tupac's image is on the front and back of this shirt, I could make 2 shirts from 1.

I went to A.C. Moore and bought this plain black tee in large. I'm going to take off the front of the graphic shirt and take the back of the black tee and sew them together.

I turned it inside out and used a seam ripper to remove the thread.

Make sure the sleeves stay attached to the front of the shirt.

This took a while, so I suggest sitting on a comfy couch or chair, because it's very tedious.

Since the graphic shirt took so long, I used scissors to separate the black tee.

Since the tee is a large, when sewn together, you'll get that extra room to fit, and the tee has a little stretch.

I laid the smaller graphic on top, pinned the shoulders and sleeves and continued down the sides.

You can see here, that the black tee will be longer in the back.

VOILA!

The shirt fits and has room to spare.

I repeated the same steps with the back of the shirt, but this time I cut off the sleeves of the black tee to make a tank top. You can really see here the extra material you'll have.

One thing though, the black tee was long in the front. My son wasn't too beat for a tank top.

 He said, "Ma, I don't like it with Tupac on the back." So I cut the collar out and turned it around.

It's mine now with Tupac in the front.
