HOW TO MAKE AN OFF THE SHOULDER CROP TOP
Hello and welcome to our tutorial on how to make an off the shoulder crop top!
My name is Mariana and I love creating my own fashion pieces. Not only is it a fun and creative outlet, it's also a great way to save money and make clothes that fit your style and body perfectly.
In this tutorial, I'll be showing you how to make an off the shoulder crop top using a sewing machine. This crop top is a versatile and stylish piece that can be dressed up or down, and it's relatively easy to make even if you're a beginner seamstress.
Here's what you'll need to get started:
Step 2: Hem the edges of the fabric rectangles. To prevent fraying, you'll want to hem the edges of the fabric rectangles. To do this, fold each edge of the fabric over by about 1/4 inch and press with an iron. Then, fold the fabric over again so that the raw edge is hidden and pin in place. Sew along the folded edge to create a hem.
Step 3: Sew the fabric rectangles together. Place the fabric rectangles right sides together and pin in place. Sew along the sides and bottom edge of the fabric using a straight stitch. Leave the top edge open.
Step 4: Create the off the shoulder sleeves. To create the off the shoulder sleeves, you'll need to cut two strips of fabric that are about 3 inches wide and the same length as the top edge of the crop top. Hem the edges of the fabric strips, then fold them in half lengthwise and press with an iron. Place the fabric strips on the top edge of the crop top, with the folded edges facing inward and the raw edges aligned with the top edge of the crop top. Pin in place and sew along the top edge of the crop top, attaching the sleeves at the same time.
Step 5: Add elastic (optional). If you'd like to add some extra support and hold to your crop top, you can add a strip of elastic around the top edge. To do this, cut a strip of elastic that is slightly shorter than the top edge of the crop top. Sew the elastic to the top edge of the crop top using a zigzag stitch, making sure to stretch the elastic as you sew.
And that's it! You now have a beautiful off the shoulder crop top that you made yourself. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and that it inspires you to get creative and try making your own fashion pieces. Thanks for watching!
In this DIY tutorial I'll show how to make this crop top from existing clothing. The beginning of the tutorial you will learn how to make patterns from existing clothing to create your own off the shoulder crop top.
After that you will see how to sew the off the shoulder crop top together.
