DIY Long Sleeve Wrap Top (No Sewing Required!)

5 years ago I created a wrap top using nothing but a tank and a pair of scissors - who would have thought it would be the most popular post on the blog? Today we're sharing a much-requested update - a long sleeve version of this top!

sigh* walks over to grab top and scissors at 3 am

[@endlesummer_]

the color of the top is so cute

[@GenevaVanderzeil]

I'm into it too!

[@rendot2]

Ok all my stretchy long sleeve tops are going under the knife! STUNNING 🌸🎀💘

[@GenevaVanderzeil]

Love hearing that!

[@butterflyqueen9260]

Same!

[@synccommunicationinc.5721]

love this! you could also sew the extra fabric that was cut off to the "ties" to make it longer and tie around the front.

[@ShakiraG9339]

Yeah a side note. If you are already a size large, not only do you need a larger size you need the shirt to be very long to go around your under chest area. I tried this and it did not work with an oversized top that wasn't long. It ended up being a crop top that ties from the front instead. I still like the look. I hope this helps. Note consider your chest size also, less fabric to go around😉

[@GenevaVanderzeil]

Thanks for this! I agree it needs to be super long.

[@LadyRavenB]

I know this is a no sew project, but for me I would have to have cleaner edges . You can take the piece you cut from the back and add it to the front for longer ties.

[@maddy9412]

Shaki Wonder the same thing happend to me I was really disappointed

[@viasummerseye6095]

Lol same thing happened to me😩😩

[@LangBellsChannel]

Try a man's shirt.

[@momgrandma5496]

Ingenious, looks wonderful on you, that’s the beauty of knit fabrics, no sew.

[@patschwab4083]

Geneva, I would love to see you make this out of an oversized men's shirt so it wouldn't be cropped if possible. It could be a button- down or t-shirt. What a great idea.

[@GenevaVanderzeil]

That's such a great idea! I think it would be totally doable, although the stretch in this type of top does give it a nice fitted look, I think a men's shirt would be less fitted but that would be nice too!

[@taylorsmith9488]

My shirts basically refuse to tie around my waist😐

[@kitj3301]

so my shirt wasn’t long enough so what i ended up doing was taking my piece that i had cut off, i cut that in two and sewed it the front panels so that they are ridiculously long, ik it’s supposed to be no sew but it still turned out super cute

[@pokadotz3765]

Omg that’s such a good idea!!!

[@gajitmaster1993]

BISH YES SAVING MY CHUNKY ASSSSSS HAHA

[@alyiahgarcia1735]

I made it and it turned out so cute😊 I usually suck at diying my clothes but this turned out amazing, thx

[@morganelizabeth480]

i did this with a gildan crew neck sweater and everyone in my ballet class loved it and thought i bought it

[@markvargas5926]

She knows what she’s doing ❤️

[@erinisabel4487]

[@litllebleueyedangel]

[@MariaVillegasR]

Perfect. I need it. Thanks

[@EmoMiezex3]

Oh my gosh! It can't be that easy! Thanks so much for sharing!

[@sarahm9985]

[@ava8890]

Thank you for sharing !I am going to use this for the top of my circle skirt and sew together to make a dress.

[@lovelace2037]

Thank you!!!

[@Hannahhcamillle]

I'm totally doing this. I wanted a wrap top but i just couldn't find one online that I liked for a decent price. I definitely have a few tops to use that need a bit of a revamp!

[@myway2653]

Perfect

[@perksofbeingme1531]

Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@GenevaVanderzeil]

You're welcome!

[@llamabean529]

A short t shirt dress will work best for those who need longer wrapping parts

[@aileenrosesoliven103]

Yesss this is very helpful and easy thank you ❤️❤️

[@come_buildwithme100]

So beautiful! I will definitely try this with an old long sleeve shirt I have :D

[@jg-ts3pb]

going to try this right now 😍

[@Chloe-iq7-help]

Why didn't this work on either of my tops?

[@gibbehh426]

I did it right but the top isn’t stretch so the two long pieces won’t fit behind my back

[@meganswaine4135]

Cool!

[@Shirab-kw2nl]

Hello...I know this video is older but I just found it and I was wondering if you could tell me the brand of your shirt on this video? Is beautiful and it seems of good quality which is hard to find ... Thanks!!!

[@jannekeniezen1640]

LOVE

[@foodiemeow4782]

Thank you so much!! Finally I can easily make a cheap wrap top that fits me💖

[@kyahkennedy9629]
