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.

If taking off neck line or bottom of sweatshirt, I also stay stitch before cutting off, it keeps the sweatshirt from stretching out of shape.

I have mAde several of these over the years and they are easy. I am not a super seamtress either!. I was forntunate to find a bin of sweatshirts last year and picked one up for $5. what a bargain.
I always try sew4home.com and search for any patterns I might need. happy stitching. |
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.
