  Step 1

  Pick out your shirt, make sure it's a polo shirt. I chose a shirt that was a size too big, but you don't have to.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut off the sleeves, I cut next to the seam.

• 

  Step 3

  Measure how long you would like crop top (shoulder to hem) I chose 16" and don't forget to add on the width of your elastic along the bottom and seam allowance!

• 

  Step 4

  Cut the bottom off and pin the hem up

• 

  Step 5

  On the sleeves, fold over the raw edge on the wrong side, pin and sew

• 

  Step 6

  Leave enough space to create a 'tube' for your elastic to fit in.

• 

  Step 7

  Sew the hem all away around leaving a small gap (about 2 inches) this is where you will pull your elastic through.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut the elastic about half an inch smaller than your waist. You don't want it too tight around your waist. When you have done this, put a safety pin through the end of the elastic

• 

  Step 9

  Pull the safety pin and elastic through the tube until it comes out the other end.

• 

  Step 10

  Pull the elastic taut, but not too taut! You want it taut enough to not fall down, but not so taut it leaves a mark!
  Tie the elastic in a double knot and sew the hem over the knot!

• 

  Step 11

  Then you're finished!! Enjoy your cute top :)
