Make a trendy, cold shoulder top on the cheap with a thrifted flannel shirt. I scored this like-new flannel shirt at the thrift store for only $3. I was inspired to add cold shoulder cutouts after seeing something similar at the mall. This easy refashioning project took less than one hour to make.
Mark Cold Shoulder Cutouts

Mark the cold shoulder cutouts with a french curve.

Detach the collar and cut out the cold shoulder holes.

To finish the shoulder holes, sew bias binding to the front, flip it around and sew it down from the back.
Attach Collar
