Make a trendy, cold shoulder top on the cheap with a thrifted flannel shirt. I scored this like-new flannel shirt at the thrift store for only $3. I was inspired to add cold shoulder cutouts after seeing something similar at the mall. This easy refashioning project took less than one hour to make.
Step 1: Mark Cold Shoulder Cutouts
Mark the cold shoulder cutouts with a french curve.
Step 2: Cut Out Shoulder Holes
Detach the collar and cut out the cold shoulder holes.
Step 3: Sew Bias Binding to Shoulder Holes
To finish the shoulder holes, sew bias binding to the front, flip it around and sew it down from the back.
Step 4: Attach Collar
Reattach the collar and sew it closed
Step 5: Enjoy Your Shirt
Wear your shirt and get lots of compliments.
