After purchasing an over sized denim jacket from a thrift store, I re-vamped it into something I would actually wear. Quick and Easy. No-Sewing experience necessary!

Signing UpStep 1Cut the sleeves
Put on the jacket and see how it fits on you. Also decide how long you want the sleeves.
1. Using a piece of chark, draw a line 2 or 3 inches from where you would like the sleeves to rest. In my case, I placed the line at approximately my elbow.
2. take off the jacket and cut the sleeve.
3. roll the sleeve at least twice so that there is not dangling pieces. The roll will also hold better if you roll it more then once. Keep rolling until the sleeves are the length, fullness, and tightness that you desire.
4. Try on the jacket again to make sure that the sleeves are how you wish them to be.
5. If everything is perfect on that sleeve, take off the jacket and unroll the sleeve. Fold the jacket in half and cut the other sleeve so that they are both the same length, and then re-roll them.
*** Remember: you can always cut off more fabric from the garment, but you can't add more, so cut the sleeves in an area that's slightly longer then you think you want it and play around with it, rather then making the mistake of cutting too much off and hating the garment afterwards***
