Basically, its a large sweatshirt with the knit parts cut off.
The front is carefully cut up the exact center. both underarms are cut open.
There are many different possible combinations of fabric to sew on top, but one of the favorites is allover strips, made of short sections of different colors, or different shades or the same color family.
If you are clever and carefull and especially patient, you can turn the dges under and topstitch,all around, but it is easier to trim the all the edges even and use bias binding - maybe 100 times easier!
This is one time you might like to use that curly little bias binding foot you got with your machine.
Practice first, perhaps make a set or two of mug rugs!
Those are fun to whiz zround!
