  Step 1

  What you will need...

• 

  Step 2

  Prepare small denim pieces. I used an old jeans of mine.

• 

  Step 3

  With the pencil draw (not necessary perfect) ovals on the elbows.

• 

  Step 4

  Put the denim piece inside the sleeve under the marked spot and pin it to the shirt.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew the denim pieces onto the sleeve along the pencil line with simple running stitches.

• 

  Step 6

  Turn the sleeve inside out and secure the corners of the denim piece with pins as shown in the picture.

• 

  Step 7

  Attach the edges of the piece to the sleeve with hemming stitches.

• 

  Step 8

  Turn the sleeve inside out and cut out the oval spot.

• 

  Step 9

  Now cut uneven holes across your shirt - front, back, shoulders. I had several stains in the front of my shirt, so I just cut them out. Additionally I've cut several rips on the shoulders, back, pockets and collar.

• 

  Step 10

  As you did by the elbows pin the denim pieces under the cut outs or rips and secure them with pins. Then sew along the rip-edges with running stitches or any stitches you think look the best. For my shirt I used running, double running and hemming stitches.

• 

  Step 11

  Cut off excess fabric around the stitching.

• 

  Step 12

  Here is the back view.

  Step 13

  And the front view.
