RECYCLE RECYCLE RECYCLE!!!:D

So, we had a Recycle project. Meaning we had to take a garment and turn it into a completely new garment!!:D Mine was a jacket that got turned into a shirt c: i did not make my own pattern for this, but instead the jacket had basically all you need.
 Would you like to see how to make such a nifty lil thing? oops sorry looks like your time is up!!.....im going to show you anywayss....(:

                                INSTRUCTIONS:
1- take out the pockets, zipper, and hood.
2- measure how long you would like the shirt to be on you. *ADD an extra 2 inches!!*and then mark.
3- now, cut the sleeves out and place them to the side ( for you can make arm warmers with them):D
4- measure the remaining piece on how tight you want the shirt around your bodice.
5- sew down the back with wrong sides together.(the pieces that previously connected the zipper.
6- at the top of the shirt press under the 2 inches.
7- sew at the fold. and the bottom of the fabric that was folded.
     Straps:
1- you can find different colored fabric that matches or you can simply use the sleeves for this. But if your wanting arm warmers at the end, i suggest other lay around fabric.
2- if your sewing, im sure you know how to make straps... but if not, then cut out 2 inch thick retangle that is as long as you want the straps to be.
3- fold in half and sew wrong sides together all the way around except one of the end sides.
4- from the sewn edge, take a pencil and move it through, to turn the fabric right sides out.
5- now from the inside, sew the two straps in the front.
6- cross them and sew them on opposite sides on the back part, in the inside.
TA-DA!
    ArmWarmers:
1- take the sleeve and measure from the cuffs to where you would like the arm warmer to go, mark, and cut. *ADD an inch!*
2- after you cut the fabric, you shall sew wrong sides togther.
3- the inch that you have made, you need to fold under and sew the tom of the fold and then close it off with another stitch.
4- mark where you would like the thumb hold to be. and how big to make it from your thumb.
5- perform a button hole.
 **You can add patches, or cut slits down it like i have, to give it more character! and now you have a tank top kinda thingy and an armwarmer that matches!!** WOOH!.


i shall turn in my project with the sketches and for the skills? there really was any skills that needed to be brought upon this.... urm, ca;lsdgfjdgasdlkh. <---yeah.
the easiest part of this project was the sew part. lol... actually, the arm warmer was fairly easy(:
the worst part was measuring.... :o blahhh. and this project reminds me of my trench coat and a pair of jeans i have, are made out of TRASH BAGS :o.... i will have to wear them to class sometime ;D but there was a hole in my caot and then i put zebra ducktape over it and i sewed it, and its even more.... recyclablee o.o<3  i think it needs more ducktape patches o.o.....:DDD
