Materials:
Old pair of jeans (or just the top waistband with zipper part)
Plain crew neck sweatshirt
Seam Ripper
Scissors
Sewing Machine
Pins

Step 1 Cut the Jean Waist and the Sweatshirt Collar

Take your seam ripper and start ripping off the bottom part of the belt loops.

Cut around the waistband and down around the zipper, making sure to leave enough room to sew. If the jeans have a logo on the back, rip that off with a seam ripper.

Take out your sweatshirt and carefully cut the collar off right below the seam.

i did something not quite like this but i made a polo like shirt using a long sleeve button down and a black t-shurt and put the color on the t-shirt

well i happen to love this idea!!! i hate t-shirt or sweatshirt collars that are high on my neck. i feel like they're choking me. i'm definitely going to try this. heck, you can ever use t-shirts and 'softer' dress pant waistbands. thanks bud!

look's odd...

i agree... however i think if the cuts were more clean it could potentially look pretty good...
