Let’s Jam!

If you’ve ever watched Cowboy Bebop, then you were probably thinking what I was thinking when I saw this shirt. “3, 2, 1, LET’S JAM!” and then followed by Yoko Kanno’s popular theme song for Cowboy Bebop.  Although I don’t watch too much anime anymore, Cowboy Bebop still remains one of my all time favorites.  Tee Fury was kind enough to send me one of their shirts and I didn’t even have to think twice before requesting this one. And even though they do carry girl versions of the shirt designs, I actually opted for a men’s shirt so that I could do a little DIY and transform it into a muscle tank. Keep reading to see how I transformed this men’s tee into a cute tank!

I wanted to keep this tank pretty simple (no cut outs or sewing needed) so the goal was just to cut it into the desired shape. There isn’t much DIY here besides cutting, but to start, I placed a similar tank on top of a pre-washed tee and followed that shape for the sleeves.

I wanted the bottom hem to be curved down like a “U” although you can opt to cut it more like an upside-down “U” as well. Always cut a little more conservative if you aren’t sure. Remember you can always make it shorter, but you can’t make it longer!

And that’s it! If you have an old tee lying around, definitely give this a try! Keep in mind that the one I cut was a Men’s size small so this may not work on those XL tees!
