Making your own clothes really isn't as hard as you might think, especially baggy ones! To make this top, you don't need many textiles skills other than cutting and sewing, so anybody could make it if they tried!
To make this top, you will need-
﹆36 x 45 inches of lightweight fabric
﹆Sewing machine loaded with a suitable coloured thread (to match the fabric)
﹆Measuring tape and chalk.
 |
| The fabric that I chose, a green liberty print fabric. |
Step 1) Fold your fabric in half with the right sides together. To make the neckline, mark half way along the folded edge with the chalk. Measure 4 inches either side of the mark and mark the two new points. Then, cut a semi circle connecting the two 4 inch marks. Next, make the sleeves by removing 2inches of fabric all the way up to 7 inches down (see picture for help).
Step 2) Sew along the red lines, then hem along the yellow lines. To hem the edges, fold the raw edges over twice, and sew to secure them.

| One of the hemmed edges. Turn your top inside out, and it's ready to wear. Pair it with some skinny jeans and a long, heavy necklace if you're struggling for outfit ideas. |

| Happy sewing! |
