This link is a tutorial on how to make your own pattern from old cloths, it is for kids clothes but it works for adult cloths as well.

Another way to do it is a pull on hoodie, just cut out a hoodie from knit fabric or a different t shirt and add it to the collar, out side or inside doesn't matter, depends on how you want it to look, no need to cut up the t shirt. Or as I believe another poster mentioned remove the collar from a polo and add a hoodie in its place.
Or you can turn a long sleeve shirt that fits wrong side out and trace the sleeve, add to the body of the shirt after sewing the shoulders together but before sewing the sides, when they are added sew up the sides and sleeve in one long stretch.
and yes you can hand sew but it takes a lot longer, if you machine sew it best to use a zig-zag stitch if you don't have a surger.
Question 1: How can the right arm be black and white at the same time?
Question 2: What about the lower left torso?
to go be like,
totally punk =p
i got a hoody that the arms where too short on and one of my old school blazers, took off the breast-pocket with the school emblem on it...and am now currently attaching the hood to the back of it, the seams are all under the collar at the back.
so i can bodge up my sowing loads and it matters little...
also it means that when i put up the hood, the lapels all stick up...which i think is a funky touch =p
im thinking of adding a new breast pocket to it, with maybe a band patch sown onto/into it.
should look cool when im done i reckon =]
thanks for showing me it IS possible to do this sort of thing =p
i was about to give up halfway >.<
