D.I.Y top transforming

So I got this top a while ago now from American Apparel however I completely deteste round necks that come up this far so I've never really worn it. Instead of chucking it out I cut it a bit to make it more wearable!


                  
Here is a picture of the original top (forgot to take one of mine before cutting it!)



Firstly I cut the sleeves off by just following the stitching of where they were/

Next I drew a lower shaped neck-line with tailors chalk and cut round, making it a bit higher at the back.


Then I cut the armholes longer by just making a slit at the seam to just below the chest.


And there it is. By the way make sure you use good fabric scissors otherwise the edges will look horrible.
