I don’t do many DIYs because I mainly just steal borrow other people’s ideas.  And I’m sure someone has done this one before, but I’ve not seen it yet so I thought I would share.

I had this grey long sleeved t-shirt that I used to wear under my short sleeved tees a few years ago.  I loved the dark grey color and the sleeves had a nice length and cuff to them, but for a layering piece was a lil bit too short.  It seemed like I was always pulling the hem down to be long enough.

I’d seen on blogs where people would create a cardigan from an old sweater and I thought I’d try that with this tee.  So I put it on and made a chalk line down the center.  T-shirts tend to be a bit wonky, so this was a better method than just cutting up what looked like the middle since it could end up crooked.

See what I mean?  My chalk lines look crooked, but when the shirt was on my body, this line was straight.

And this is what it looks like on:

 

And with a white tee and scarf:

This was completely NO SEW.  All I did was cut, stretch the cut end so the material would roll in on itself and wear.  So literally ANYONE can do this. 

I love it!  What do you think?
