I'm going to show you how to transform your old, lifeless shirts into a cute and on trend cropped top. So here we go :)
--------------------
You will need:
-Old Shirt (Charity Shops have some fantastic ones)
-Fabric Scissors
-Chalk
-Pins
-Sewing Machine
1) I began by using a chalk to subtly mark out just how cropped I wanted the top to be. Note: Make sure you leave seam allowance and make leave it 2 inches longer than you want it to as it'll help you to sew with ease later.
2) I turned the shirt inside out and started to use pins to fold up the seams on the bottom and on the sleeves.
4) Here you go. :) You're super easy and cute cropped top is finished. (Note to self: using an iron won't hurt).
--------------------
I hope that this post helped you and inspired you to create and rework into the clothes that you already have. I do apologise if I wasn't clear enough on some steps, don't hesitate to let me know if you'd like me to go over anything in detail.
Have you made/designed anything recently? :)
