Decide which NFL team you want to represent.
The National Football League (NFL) is a professional American football league consisting of 32 teams, divided equally between the National Football Conference (NFC) and the American Football Conference (AFC). The NFL is one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, the highest professional level of American football in the world.
Find an old, large jersey of that team.
You will want to find an old, large jersey of that team. It is best if the jersey is a little bit too big for you. Do not use a brand new jersey, as it will be much harder to shrink. If you do not have an old jersey, you can try to find one at a thrift store or online. Once you have your jersey, you will need to wash it.
Cut the jersey down the middle of the back.
This will make it easier to take in the sides of the jersey. You can always cut it later if you want to make it shorter in the front or back. Use scissors or a rotary cutter and mat to make clean, even cuts.
Try on the jersey to see how it fits.
If it is too big, you will need to wash it in hot water to shrink it. Fill up your wash basin or sink with the hottest water that your fabric can tolerate. For most jerseys, this will be hot water from the tap. Place the jersey in the water and let it soak for about five minutes.
If the jersey is too big, cut it down the sides and try it on again.
If the jersey is still too big, keep cutting it until it fits the way that you want it to. You can also try shrinking the jersey in the wash. Put it in the washing machine on hot and dry it on high heat.
Once the jersey fits the way you want it to, sew the sides back together.
If you’ve ever purchased an NFL jersey, you know that they tend to run large. If you want your jersey to fit more snugly, there are a few things you can do to shrink it. First, try washing the jersey in hot water and drying it on high heat. If that doesn’t work, you can try this method:
