Using this technique, I turned a couple of free (but large) mountain biking shirts we won at the Take Your Kid Mountain Biking event into a couple of shirts Baby Brother loves to wear.

Oh, thanks for the great idea and the tutorial. I’m going to turn a few of my husbands band shirts (I’m pretty sure he has hundreds!!) into shirts for my boy.
Good choice in shirts! Go Ellsworth, those are some awesome bikes. I’ll have to try this for my guys.
I see the tutorial for going from boxy to fitted adult shirt. Is it more or less the same to cut it down for a child? The link to the kids tutorial doesn’t work. Thanks!

Yes, the process is pretty much the same. Luckily, the shirts had pretty small neck openings so I just left it alone. The only step I had to add was hemming the bottom. Good luck!
The link does not work can you repost the link. I have tons of adult tees I’d love to make smaller for my son. Thank you

Hmm, I wonder why it’s not working for you. I just checked it and it seems okay. Here is the web address:

It’s changing a large t-shirt into a fitted adult t-shirt, but the technique is about the same (see about comment).
