Every guy has this problem. It's frustrating when you buy a t-shirt that says that it's slim fit or athletic fit and you put it on and it's super baggy and unfitted isn't it? A lot of retailers like H&M, American Eagle, Gap, and Target claim to make slim fit shirts but then you put it on and it doesn't fit very well at all. Well that's because mass produced clothes are made to fit everyone, and because of that they don't fit anyone. The first thing we want to do is gather our materials. We need a sewing machine, some sewing pins, a fabric measuring tape, and some fabric scissors. Start out by measuring your t -shirt for the fit that you want. I like a nice V-taper to my shirts, but this isn't about me it's about you. If you are a bigger guy or a skinny guy you can use your sewing pins to give your shirt the appearance that you want too. Next, you want to use those sewing pins to give your baggy t-shirt a much better look to it. Use a straight stitch set at 2.5 which is a standard stitch as it comes from the store. After you do that cut off the extra fabric leaving 5/8ths of an inch on what's called the seam allowance. Finish it off with zigzag stitch or pinking shears to prevent the edge from fraying on you and then you're good to go!
