Remember that cozy flannel cowl shirt I re-created for my first Thrifty Copycat Post?
Well my lovelies here’s the promised tutorial:
Snag a too-big-for-you flannel lumberjack shirt & some chopped long sleeves
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
slice off the sleeves just below the shoulder
chop each sleeve open along the seam
put one sleeve on top of the other right sides facing & stitch the sides together to form a tube
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)
zigzag over the outside seam for extra strength
and you’ll have something similar to the above pic…
onto the new sleeves:
pop those chopped long sleeves over the remains of the shirt arms right sides facing
stitch together
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
