**D.I.Y- Folded Arms Shirt
I love this quirky, folded arms shirt from Creatures of Comfort; so much so that I decided to make one of my own (pictured above). Here’s how-
Materials
White button down (or other) cotton shirt, scissors, white thread, needle, sewing machinge
Instructions
1. Carefully cut off the sleeves. Start at the underarm area of one sleeve about a 1/4 from the edge. Snip a small hole and insert your scissor tips. Cut all the way around. Do the same with the second sleeve.
2. Take the loose sleeves and place them so that they point up towards the collar with cuff buttons showing.
3. & 4. Pin each sleeve to sides just below the armhole working down.
5. You can either hand sew the sleeves on or do it with your sewing machine.
6. Give the shirt a good pressing with an iron.
