I saw a nice top on the internet and decided to recreate one for myself.
This is my first how-to, I hope it makes sense!

You Will Need (5 things)

  • 1 Vest Top
  • 12 in Fabric
  • Thread that matches the fabric
  • 1 Needle
  • 10 Clothes Pin

Steps (6 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Get your top and fabric, my top was just a cheap Primark find and I cadged the fabric.

  2. 2

    Cut a piece of fabric (10" x 7" approx) and lay it across the top section of the vest.

  3. 3

    Sew the fabric to the top, making sure it's even on either side of the stitches.

  4. 4

    Pin the fabric to the top, tucking the frayed edge under, and sew using a neat backstitch. Repeat on the other side.

  5. 5

    Pin and sew on a small square of fabric (1.5" x 1.5") to the middle of the bow, fold and sew as before.

  6. 6

    Taa Daa! All done :)
