Draw a diagonal line from the shoulder to the opposite side of the bottom of the shirt. Pleat along the diagonal line with an accordion fold. Bind the pleated portion of the shirt. Apply a spiral to each side of the pleated portion of the shirt with the excess material (instead of leaving unfolded). Bind the spirals.

Here's a pic of an example of such made by Michael Fowler:
