Description

This nautical "peplum" top is great for summer! Turn any old t-shirt into a really cute wardrobe staple :)

Instructions

  1. Small dscn4552

    Grab an old t-shirt

  2. Small dscn4553

    Cut in 2 - I cut around 10 inches from bottom. Cut sleeves off and cut a straight neckline.

  3. Small dscn4556

    Place top piece onto lining fabric. Cut around this. Sew the sides of the lining fabric together.

  4. Small dscn4557

    Sew two lines across the top of the bottom piece. This will be the "skirt" part. I did this by hand, but you can just loosen the tension on your sewing machine

  5. Small dscn4563

    Pin the gathered bottom piece onto the top piece. Make sure the top piece is in line with the lining when pinned. Sew.

  6. Small dscn4565

    Pin a line down the bottom of the top. Cut down this line.

  7. Small dscn4566

    Insert zip. Pin and sew.

  8. Small dscn4569

    Turn right side out. Voilà!
