Cutting Sleeves Off A Shirt Tutorial

Cutting the sleeves off of a t-shirt is a great way to mix up your gym outfits.  The muscle tank look is super cute but badass at the same time.  Not only is a great way to show off your hard work but it's also perfect for showing off your beautiful Constantly Varied Gear sports bras.

At CVG we've been cutting the sleeves off of our shirts for years.  We've been asked by everyone that sees them how we do it, because let's be honest, it's easy to mess up.  Which is why we decided to make this tutorial so that others can do the same.

If you have any questions about the process just head over to our fitness FB group.  We're happy to help with any tips!

Things You Need To Know Before Cutting

There are a few things you should know before cutting the sleeves off your shirt.  First and foremost we suggest watching the video tutorial above.  Maybe even watch it twice because there's no going back if you mess up!

All you will need to make your sleeveless shirt is a good pair of scissors and a sharpie or marker.  If you have an old t-shirt laying around we suggest practicing on that first.  Just like anything else you will get better with practice.

Depending on your style we have also added steps to cut the bottom off the shirt to turn it into a crop top.  This may not be for everyone, but most people find it completes the badass look.

Pro tip: Be sure to pull at the cut seams to get the fabric to roll over.
