Learning how to shorten t shirts has been an excellent life hack. I had really stopped wearing graphic t's because I hate the way the regular length goes to and over my hips at the widest part of my body.

Brooklyn's tutorial (in the comments of this post) on how to shorten a t shirt has been invaluable.  Here is my latest fun shirt - I got a black and a white one, and I cut them off this morning at 22" from the mid-point of the shoulder seam to the bottom (which meant I cut off 4.5" at the bottom). Brooklyn's advice in cm is 56-58 cm from shoulder to hem.

(Apologies for the vacuum cleaner in my photo, however it is appropriate as the 4 cats in our house necessitate daily vacuuming!)
