Steps:

Men's Shirt Apron

Cut around the collar but leave it intact.  Cut it very close to the seam so that you won’t have to hem anything or have any raw edges.

Use rotary cutter and ruler to make a diagonal cut from the armpit to the top of the shoulder. Make sure both sides are even.

On the edge that you just cut, turn a hem under to conceal raw edges, and sew it down.  Do this on both sides.
