1. 

   

   Cut a t shirt in half vertically and just below half diagonally.
   
   

2. 

   

   Fold over and pin/tack stitch all raw edges so they are even and ready to sewn on the machine
   
   

3. 

   Put this to one side
   
   

4. 

   

   Cut the material from the bottom of the original t shirt into 4 equal pieces (cutting in half and half again is usually easiest)
   
   

5. 

   You should now have 4 strips
   
   

6. 

   

   Fold these strips in half and pin the longest edges together and sew
   
   

7. 

   

   Pin 2 pieces to either side of the t shirt, where the shrug would open
   
   

8. 

   

   Pin the left over strips to the bottom of the t shirt (the hem)
   
   

9. 

   

   Now sew
   
   And decorate!

This is so useful and cute too. I have lots of tops I don't like anymore that would make nice shrugs, thanks:)

Thanks everyone!
It also looks great if you use two tops, one for the main part of the shrug and the other for the edging :D
