Step 1: Cut Off Sleeves

First, cut off the sleeves of a long-sleeve T-shirt.

Step 2: Lay Sleeves Flat

Now, cut along the seams and lay the sleeves out flat.

Step 3: Mitten Length

Find a good length for your mittens, and cut off the extra fabric.

Step 4: Extra Fabric

Now, cut another piece of fabric about the size of the width of the sleeves, and cut a few strips.

Step 5: Sew on the Strips

Pin the strips to the sleeves, and sew them on!

Step 6: Sew the Sleeve Together

Next, have a friend wrap the sleeve (inside out) around your arm and pin it together; then sew.

Step 7: Cut Off the Extra Fabric

Cut off the extra fabric after sewing.

Step 8: Thumbs

Turn the mittens inside out again, cut thumb holes, and you're finished!
