Look in your pattern envelope for pattern piece number 4. Then cut it out. It will be the next piece we will be cutting out.
Look at the back side of your shirt. Most men's shirts have a little pleat back here. It will be a good guide if there is one in your shirt. Use the pleat as a guide to find the exact middle of the back of the men's shirt. Then lay it down in half.
Run your hands along the piece of the men's shirt you just folded in half and make sure there are no wrinkles in the fabric. You want to have a clean cut, so this has to be a clean fold.
Then lay your pattern piece down. Place the edge of the pattern piece along the fold in your man's shirt. There will be a small arrow diagram saying "place on fold." I know you are not an idiot but I have to say it because I have done it before. Don't cut the fold. Don't cut the fold.
Cut along the outer edge of the pattern. Cut along three sides leaving the forth side, the fold, uncut. (Again: If you have an questions leave a comment.)
