1. Place your t-shirt on a flat surface and cut off the hemline carefully, with a pair of scissors.

2. Then, using a chalk, draw a line from the hemline, going vertically towards the neckline of the t-shirt.

If you're good at cutting straight without tracing first, you can go ahead and cut a straight line from the hemline all the way to around the neckline.

3. The next step is to add flair to the hemline by turning it into a fringed one.
