hi everyone
in today's video I will show you how to make a cami top from old top
First, we draw the front part of the cami top
Since the old top is quite big for me
I will draw the new armhole smaller and higher than the old top
Mark where the armhold ends,
so we can match up the front and back piece later
Draw the back of the cami,
add seams allowance as well
After finish cutting the top
we make a small cut at the middle of the bust
so we can fold the seam down later
Serge all the edges, then fold them down to sew
Similar for the back piece, we also serge then fold and sew the seams
Match the front and back piece, sew them together
Now we take the left over fabric
cut 2 long rectangles to make the straps
After finish making the straps
measure them on your body
and decide the suitable length
then attached them on to the top
Now I will show how to make the hair tie
we cut the sleeve into a big rectangle
fold into half, right side together
sew with a straight stitch
fold the right side out
cut a short rubber band
insert the rubber band through and then sew it close
Finally I use hand sewing to connect 2 ends of the rectangle fabric
You can pair this cami top with any kind of bottoms
e.g pants, shorts, pencil skirt, *** skirt etc
For more conservative look,
you can wear a cardigan or blazer outside
