Are you searching for an easy way to turn a t-shirt into a muscle tank? Follow these simple steps to learn how to cut a t-shirt into a muscle tee:

Step 1:
Lay your t-shirt on a flat surface. For easier cutting, iron it beforehand to smooth out any wrinkles.

Step 2:
Decide how wide you want the armholes. You can cut along the armhole seams for a standard fit or further down the sides for a wider-arm muscle tank look.
Make sure the sleeves are cut evenly to avoid a lopsided appearance. A helpful tip is to fold the t-shirt in half lengthwise before cutting, ensuring the armholes are symmetrical.

Step 3:
Cut off the neckline. You can adjust the neckline width to your preference. Start by cutting close to the original neckline and try on the shirt. If you want a wider neckline, trim it further.

And just like that, your muscle tank is ready to wear!
