How to Make a Vest out of a T-Shirt

POSTED BY Sara Franklin, 07 August 2007

We're bringing back the Vest in a whole new way. Move over Ferris Bueller, this quick and easy t-shirt restyling will have you stylin' in no time. More more information, watch the video!

 

First, get a T-shirt.
 
Draw a line up the middle with a fabric pen.
Now, get your scissors and cut up the shirt along the line you just made.
 
Then, cut off the sleeves along the seam.
 
 
Place the sleeves on the bottom of the shirt, as shown, for pockets.
 
 
Pin and sew...
 
 
and you're officially too cool for school!
