Craft a Cropped Tank With Ruched Detailing

Crop tops are great for warm summer nights. They're also a lot easier to make than you might've imagined. You need scissors, chalk, measuring tape, lace, a loop-turner, and a tailor's pin. That sounds like a lot but stay with us for a second. First, cut off the top half of your t-shirt — pretty much everything from the bottom of your sleeves up. Use the fabric you just cut off to create straps; with the loop-turner, attach these straps to the top's shoulders and sides, as you see below.

Just make sure that you're taking measurements the entire time so that you're not creating a shorter or longer top than you want. Measuring your straps is crucial.
