Remix'd: Kimono Jacket

Kimono jackets are another trend that I've been noticing AND I really like so I decided to make my own from a over sized button up shirt.

Supplies: oversized men's or women's shirt scissors pins sewing machine or hem tape

• Remove the collar of the shirt by cutting along the seam's edge.
• Cut 1 inch strips along the collar. Fold under and pin down.
• With the shirt on, mark where you want to hem to end adding a 1 inch seam allowance. The shirt was already at the length I wanted.
• Mark on the sleeves where you want it to end. Cut at an angle with a 1 inch seam allowance. I marked mine to end a little past my elbow. Fold under and pin.
• Remove the buttons from the shirt. Fold under both sides of the button lapels and pin.
• Sew all of the areas that have been pinned.
• *Optional* You can use iron-on hem tape if you don't have a sewing machine.

Kimono jackets also looks great with denim cut offs and white tees.  Are kimono jackets for you? Outfit Details:
