How to Make a Turtleneck Into an Off-the-Shoulder Shirt
- 1). Put the turtleneck on. Make sure it is in the correct position on your body. Pull it down so that it does not ride up.
- 2). Direct a friend to mark off the area with a tailor's pencil about one inch above where you'd like the new off-the-shoulder shirt's collar to be. The line should go all around the shirt.
- 3). Remove the shirt. Use tailor's scissors to carefully cut out the top of the turtleneck along the penciled line. Do this slowly and carefully.
- 4). Fold the edge of the collar in about one inch and secure it there with pins. Do this all around the collar, making sure the folded edges are uniform.
- 5). Sew the fold with a sewing machine. This will permanently hide the fold and keep the collar from unraveling. Do a double stitch to make it stronger.
