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
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
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
pin the 2 pieces of fabric to the top along the seam, with both unfinished edges facing inward.
-
5
sew along the pin line created and you are done :)
