DIY: No Sew Crop Top Tutorial


Yay! Easy tutorial today...
A crop top!

It's really easy and fun to make. You can wear it off the shoulder, cut off the sleeves to make a tank top, wear it over a camisole--it's a very versatile piece. My sister made one too (she's modeling the black shirt). Then we went and had a photo shoot, haha...

Except it didn't exactly work out. We always start goofing around and we run out of poses. Like in this photo shoot:
I can't believe I actually posted this picture (and I know, the outfit choice isn't the best).

And if you were wondering, yes, I got highlights. :D

(If you wanna see real photoshoots, though, go to Live Love Craft)

Anyways...

Materials: size L men's shirt and scissors

1. Cut off the neckband and sleeve hems.
2. Rotate the shirt so that the side seams/folds line up.


3. Cut a slope to make a high-low hem, making the shirt cropped in the front (or you can just cut straight across).
Yep, that's it. Easy.
We liked stretching and curling all the edges, and we also thought cuffing the sleeves looked better (I might tack down the cuffs with some stitches, but for now I just fold them).

That's it! You're done. Now go find some big tees that don't fit.
