There are lots of great sewing projects on pinterest and I had to try one! For this project you turn a long sleeved shirt into a cardigan. You need a long sleeved shirt, a pair of scissors, a method of sewing (i.e. machine), thread, a seam guage, and pins. It is also recommended to have an iron.
Step 1) Iron your shirt out completely flat if you have an iron. Cut a straight line down the front middle of the shirt
Step 2) Use your seam guage to make the hem on each raw edge. (5/8 is usually a good hem length). Do this to both sides and pin as you go. Now it would be a good time to iron these flat.
Step 3) Now for the last step sew along the edges leaving only a slight bit of fabric on the other side of the stitch so it doesn't pull out.
Step 4) Iron out so that you have a proffessional finished look.
