• 

  Step 1

  Snag a too-big-for-you flannel lumberjack shirt & some chopped long sleeves

• 

  Step 2

  chop off the neckline starting just below the second button from the top, curving up to the shoulder & then just under the collar seam around the back & down to the front

• 

  Step 3

  slice off the sleeves just below the shoulder

• 

  Step 4

  chop each sleeve open along the seam

• 

  Step 5

  put one sleeve on top of the other right sides facing & stitch the sides together to form a tube

• 

  Step 6

  pop the new cowl (a.k.a: sleeve tube) into the neckline of the shirt with the wrong side of the cowl facing the right side of the shirt & stitch together (this ensures that the new collar will be right side out when folded down)

• 

  Step 7

  zigzag over the outside seam for extra strength

• 

  Step 8

  and you’ll have something similar to the pic…

  onto the new sleeves:

• 

  Step 9

  pop those chopped long sleeves over the remains of the shirt arms right sides facing

• 

  Step 10

  stitch together...

• 

  Step 11

  throw it over a t-shirt, leggings & biker boots, fold down the cowl-y collar & head out!

  *quick tip: if your cowl just will not sit right simply stitch it down in the position you prefer

• 

  Step 12

  ...and then go make one for the stylin' dude in your life!
