I don't have a sewing machine, so to make a boxy tee more fitted, I'll cut right up the center of those slashes and then tie them. That will make it very easy to cinch it up a good few inches.

Emily Rachel Gilley or just reconnect it with safety pins 🧷

[@1015SaturdayNight]

Richard C Yeah! 🙌

[@susanwzrkentin.stateparks.9158]

Vampire freaks !! Madame absinthe!!

[@richardc7869]

Cute! That gave me a flashback! In 1983 I worked at Rockn T’s, and I was always slicing, studding, & pinning together shirts for the punks! Great video, loved it, except now I feel old, lol! Your shirt turned out great, loved the graphic!

[@MadameAbsinthe]

Thank you! Die-hard DIYers unite! Why wear a shirt the way it us when you can make it so much more interesting?

[@pumpkinpepsi]

I use the sleeves I cut off as headbands 😂

[@noniefuss]

I have a sudden urge to go cut up all of my old concert t's lol That was a hella cute shirt when you finished. Love it :)

[@AlexRobshaw]

Where has this video been all my life 😭 finally, I know how to do this properly 🥲 thank you so much for this!!

[@lozey8317]

Awesome tutorial, thanks! Also, I love that belt(s) you're wearing

[@MadameAbsinthe]

Thank you!! If you like tutorial videos, I also have one up on my channel where I show you how to turn an old guitar strap into a cool DIY rockstar belt similar to what I'm wearing in this video.

[@gothicmom5232]

I love it!! I think I will try this on some of my bigger granny rock tees lol 🖤🖤

[@Braindomme]

I love your DIYs! I've cut T-shirts tons of times but it's always interesting watching others do it too haha

[@MadameAbsinthe]

It's such an easy way to make a boxy boring tshirt more "you". I thought this would be a great video or beginners. I am so glad you enjoyed it, even though you are already well-versed in doing tshirt DIY.

[@thewinterland]

This is fucking life changing! Seriously I've had no idea why some people look awesome in t- shirts and i, well don't. Now I know. I'm going to do this, for sure!

[@TheSeptemberRose]

I chop up my T-shirts too! Cool!

[@edwinakemp8554]

The worst are merch t-shirts. That horrible tight bulky neck and giant sleeves. Awful. I chop up nearly every one I get. But very cute bat shirt and love the reference to the count. My fave Sesame Street character 🥰

[@carmenlong3036]

I have a collection of t-shirts stashed away to modify and slice. love the one you modified. watching your vids has given me the incentive to get my stash of projects back out of the drawer and finally get them started and/or finished.

[@gabrielladuca1709]

Great, thanks! 🖤🦇 I will try, even if I don't like stiching! 😫🥴

[@TheJessicat27]

Love it!

[@nitiiakadeathbat]

Pls do more! 😍 maybe how to alter tank tops or sth like that :)

[@ladyamaris1179]

This is lovely! You should do more diy videos in the future! Love you! Stay Spooky!

[@MadameAbsinthe]

Thank you! I certainly hope to! Sometimes my projects get too elaborate and complicated for tutorial videos, but I am hoping to find more projects that will be suitable for them soon!

[@ladyamaris1179]

@@MadameAbsinthe Even a "Hey, this is what I did, this is how I did it." Video would be awesome too. You're very creative and some of us can learn from you. lol

[@MadameAbsinthe]

Thanks for the suggestion! I am actually working on a video right now of a very complicated sewing project that I hope you will like. So keep your eyes peeled!

[@RavenWednesday]

Freakin cool, I need the nightgown though 😂 my belly needs to hide 😝 great vid 👍

[@MadameAbsinthe]

My partner also has a long torso, so I totally get what you're saying. I am always sewing extra fabric onto the bottom of his shirts to make them longer and hide his belly. That's an entirely different form of tshirt DIY

[@christie_exist]

The shirt looks nice!!

[@MadameAbsinthe]

THANK YOU!

[@cryptic7949]

I Love this shirt!

[@talsin1284]

Loved this diy! Will have to do a practice run on one of the hubby's old t-shirts lol.

[@sararoberts6046]

I love it! I'd love to see other t shirt ideas!

[@MadameAbsinthe]

I have lots more! Maybe I will make a video on how to turn a tshirt into a simple dress.

[@sararoberts6046]

Yasss pls!

[@cocomidnight]

I might do this do some merch. Because it’s mostly t shirts. Thanks!

[@Amalkavs]

nice video!!! love the idea, i'm obssesed with tank top atm lmao

[@MadameAbsinthe]

Me too! When I am at work, I really prefer to have my arms free so I can work in an uninhibited way without annoying sleeves in my way. Tank tops all the way!

[@tanachke]

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

[@MadameAbsinthe]

You're welcome! I hope you found it helpful.

[@ShawnSJames]

Nice!

[@MadameAbsinthe]

Thank you!

[@katiejack7972]

Hey it's your shirt miss E, u do whatever you like to it

[@katiejack7972]

FINALLY your VIDEOS are getting less DISLIKES and more likes

[@HellsCanyonGirl]

I love the mesh crop top!!! Where do I find that! Love the tee shirt!!!

[@meganmyers1657]

Anyone know the song that is used in the video?

[@razvandobos9759]

Love that choker! Where did you get it?

[@TheStilettoSlut]

If you had "crinkle cut" (you know what I mean) fabric scissors instead of straight paper scissors would you cut the arms off in one go? Or still do both halves of the fabric separately?

[@MadameAbsinthe]

I do own pinking shears (crinkle cut scissors, as you call them - I love that name!), but I definitely prefer regular fabric scissors for this task. And even if you do to use pinking shears, I would still cut the tshirt all the way around, instead of both halves at once. It gives you more precise control over the shape of the arm hole. Sometimes I like to leave the back of the arm hole wider on the shoulder and cut the front in more. It all depends on how I want the shirt to look. I hope that helps and that I explained it well enough.

[@razvandobos9759]

You are so beautiful my dear! I love everything about you!

[@thomasa.1772]

Save the sleeves and make gloves, or wrist bands of sorts..

[@MadameAbsinthe]

That's a great idea!

[@froxyanicotti]

Little more of a Selofan take to the doo. Refreshing compared to the cone spike up. Flare it out like Froxanne? Don't tell, you wouldn't really go full Anna Varney Cantodea? That would be intriguing for Canadian folks since they no longer have Tom Green to entertain them...
