Not too long ago, I was strolling down Main St., no doubt, after stopping for a tasty and refreshing orangeade at Cole's Pharmacy, when I came across a t-shirt hanging in the Chamber of Commerce window, and I had to get it:
But, as with most tees, it was squarer than Spongebob.
So, I snazzed it up:
Here's what I did:

Step 1: Acquire a pair of these.
Step 2: Cut the top in a fashion to your liking. I made mine one shouldered. Basically, cut off the sleeves and adjust the neckline. I also cut the bottom hem off, so that everything was uniform. After a washing, the cut edge will get the desired roll effect.
Step 3: The sides. I really didn't want to screw this up because I liked the shirt so much, so you may want to try this out on a different shirt first. Most people have a ton of boxy tees lying around. If not, just grab one of your hubby's to practice on. I got a ruler and a sharpie and drew lines 1 inch long every 1/2 inch. Then I cut with my orange scissors. This makes little strips of fabric up the sides. Each strip you cut in half and then tie back together in a knot. You could also do the back this way cutting strips in an hourglass pattern. It's pretty tedious, so make sure you carve out some time to finish it.
