Now, cut off the sleeves. Be sure to cut precisely on the seam line.

Now, you have a super cute vest for fall that has endless styling possibilities.


All we had to do was remove the sleeves, and we have a brand new piece - what could be simpler?


Next time you think of buying a sleeveless vest, why not give this method a go and have a go at making one instead.

      Nothing could be easier then what she did with a long sleeved top..she cut the sleeves off that’s it..took a little fabric glue to tidy up ends along the cut and that was that..

      .If your an adult you why would you need a video to figure it out?
