DIY ONE SHOULDER CROP TOP FROM SHIRT

Hey! Here is another quick and easy clothing hack for you. last week I did the same trick with a different basic shirt. Since my plan is to make two more with this hack, I might as well share how I transformed my simple basic shirt into a one shoulder top.  I came up with the idea, because I was not feeling paying 30 euros for a simple one shoulder top. You can watch the video here or click on gimme more for the written tutorial.

YOU NEED
elastic 8mm
basis shirt
sewing machine
scissors
pins

HOW TO

Step 1
Lay your shirt on a flat service, make it wrinkle free.

Step 2

Make a new neckline. You can draw out the shape first before cutting. Then try on the shirt to check if you you're happy with the new shape.

Step 3 
You can skip this step if you don't want a crop. From your marking, cut straight across your shirt.

Step 4
Measure the elastic along the edge, leave this much space and cut the elastic.

Step 5

Sew ends together with a zigzag stitch.

Step 6

Pin the elastic in four midpoints. In the shoulder seam, side seam, centre front and in the centre back as shown.

Step 7

Sew the elastic on with a zigzag stitch, stretch the elastic while your sewing.

Step 8

Fold the edge then sew along the edge again, using a zigzag stitch. Stretch out the top when you sew.

Step 9

Hem top. Use a zigzag stitch.

Congratulations you're done!
