You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 Time
  • 1 Another Top Or Extra Fabric
  • 1 Top That Is Too Small
  • 10 Pin(s)

Steps (5 steps, 3600 minutes)

  1. 1

    Take a top that is too small for you and measure the length of the seam from the seam at the tip of the underarm to the bottom of the shirt

  2. 2

    mark the a portion of the second top/ extra material with the length wise measurements. I kind of estimated the width for me (I figured anything more than the original would fit me better-- I cut out 2-7.5x44 centimeter (3inx17in) pieces from the second fabric. you may need to finish the raw edges where the bottom will be seen

  3. 3

    Cut the top along the seam from the seam at the tip of the underarm to the bottom of the shirt on both sides.

  4. 4

    pin the 2 pieces of fabric to the top along the seam, with both unfinished edges facing inward.

  5. 5

    sew along the pin line created and you are done :)
