Just do as you described and you will have it made. They are trully easy and fast. I removed the cuffs of the sweat shirt because I don't like the tight fit around the wrists. But it is yours so you do what you want.

I slip a small cutting mat under the front and use my rotary cutter and ruler to cut down the middle.

I have a pattern where you make collars to attach. I have square, round and ruffled versions and am happy to share. PM me if you are interested. Please also understand that my son moved home and I lost my sewing room so it may take me a bit of time to find the patterns.
