– Step by step -- Step how Create a Crop Top
- Measure and cut the fabric: Start by taking your measurements, and then cut a rectangle of fabric that's large enough to cover your torso.
- Design the pattern: Use a fitted top you already own as a guide and mark where you want the crop top to end. Then, draw a pattern with these measurements on the fabric.
- Sew the sides: Fold the fabric in half, wrong side out, and sew the sides of the crop top. Be sure to leave room for the sleeves if you desire.
- Add details: If you want to add any details such as fringes, lace or embellishments, this is the time to do it. Sew them into place.
- Test and adjust: Once you have finished sewing, try on the crop top and make any necessary adjustments to make it fit to your liking.
- Finish the edges: Finally, fold and sew the edges of the crop top so that they are clean and without fraying.
