  Step 1

  Start by laying out a shirt that you already have that fits the way you'd like it to onto the bottom of your sweatshirt. Fold your sleeves in up to the collar. Trace around.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out your shirt.

• 

  Step 3

  Use your new shirt pattern to cut out sleeves. I used the bottom of the original sleeves to make the new ones.

• 

  Step 4

  Use the top of your shirt to draw out your peter pan collar. Mark the center front to make it easier.

• 

  Step 5

  Center front.

• 

  Step 6

  Cut out twice.

• 

  Step 7

  Cut the back of your collar using the same method.

• 

  Step 8

  Pin the front and back together on both pieces (don't pin as in this picture, you'll want your collars to be mirror images of each other).

• 

  Step 9

  Sew the side seams of your collar together. Flatten your seam and sew down the center using a zig-zag stitch. Repeat for the other side of your collar.

• 

  Step 10

  Pin the front and back of your collar together, right sides facing together. Sew.

• 

  Step 11

  Understitch the seams of our collar down to the back side.

• 

  Step 12

  It should look like this when finished.

• 

  Step 13

  Pin your side seams together and sew down using a straight stitch. Again flatten out your seam and sew flat with a zig-zag stitch.

• 

  Step 14

  Incert your sleeves right sides together, pin and sew.

• 

  Step 15

  For a flat, finished looking seam, understitch your sleeves and cut away the excess.

• 

  Step 16

  Open up your collar, pin and sew the two open ends together. Flatten seam and sew using a zig-zag stitch and cut away excess.

• 

  Step 17

  Your collar should look like this.

• 

  Step 18

  Pin and sew your collar to the inside of your sweatshirt and sew.

• 

  Step 19

  Top stitch your collar. You can add lace, buttons, ribbons or anything else you want to embelish your new shirt.
