  Step 1

  Remove pocket with seam ripper.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut off sides and sleeves to fit your body.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut new sleeve cap about 8 inches down from original shoulder seam.

• 

  Step 4

  Sew new side seams.

• 

  Step 5

  Switch sleeves (right becomes left and left becomes right). This will put the cuff buttons on the fronts of your arms for a decorative detail. Reattach sleeves to armholes.

  Step 6

  Cut pocket slightly smaller.

• 

  Step 7

  Press edges of pocket inward.

• 

  Step 8

  Reattach to shirt a bit closer to the button band than its original location.

• 

  Step 9

  Remove extra cuff button with seam ripper.

• 

  Step 10

  Sew this button halfway up the cuff slit, through both layers, to keep it from gaping when you bend your elbow.
