How to Make a Simple Cowl Neck Top

This is my method of a simple cowl neck top. You can attach it to a waistband, or sew it to a skirt.
I hope it helps with your projects!
Material used:
Satin (95% polyester 5% elastane)
1m of 150cm wide fabric makes 2 tops.
Any soft drapy fabric would work eg. velvet, crepe, jersey.

I followed along as I made a top & I NEVER got so many compliments on a post in my life, my DMs exploded with requests. The tutorial is actually practical to understand, I love the no pattern factor, as necessary as they are sometimes, I love to be able to just play with fabrics and it’s fall. I’m definitely staying tuned for more.

[@thirdworldfilmaking8334]

Wish can put more exact details wth the vdeo more longer and understandable for the audience 😇

[@RaniiReview]

I saw so many cawl neck top videos but this one Is the best and so easy to understand

[@amberlyrodriguez6360]

Thank you so much. This is so easy to follow so my adhd is happy. Cowl tops are the best thing for my body as I have large chesticles so I always look weird in commercial clothes.

This was the best and easiest tutorial I’ve seen on cowl necks

[@tinybackpack3959]

Found on tik tok!! So amazing! can’t wait to see more tutorials 💖

[@TheFabgirl36]

This helps me so much 💋 I’m just beginning to experiment with draping patterns this gives me a great base. Can’t wait for more videos thank you

[@annalevin8632]

I usually don’t write comments but this video is really well done and all the passages are clear. I'm really excited to try to sew one on my own!💕

[@volleyball9495]

i made this today only took 1-2 hours cause i like to sew slowly lmao, its yelowish satin and it turned out real freaking cute

[@sandysimpson4896]

Wow, just made this to use a bodice for a formal dress. It is easy to do and looks stunning. Thank you so much🥰🥰

[@bibianagwaba9181]

I've been looking for a cowl neck that didnt need a pattern for ages. Thank you!

I've been wanting to make a cowl neck backless halter similar to this (but with a spaghetti strap tie in the back just under the bust rather than a waist tie) for awhile! This was so helpful in figuring out where to begin, thank you!

[@keiraokane6923]

New to sewing and I cannot wait to try this out when my material arrives! Making this a project for myself, would love to see more videos like this from you!

[@Kang3rs]

I'm new too! I was just about to order the fabric, I was wondering how it went!

[@bascgloybtch1370]

im new too and also wondering how it went

[@emmalinederry3998]

This video was super helpful! I used it to sew my favorite dress. I would love a skirt tutorial!

[@ambervonschassen1307]

This was wonderful! I made it this past week and wore it this weekend. Such a lovely top. For those asking about sizing, I am a US size 6 or 8 and I began with an 85 cm square. Turned out perfect, but probably will size down to 80 cm next time.

[@sierragilbert971]

Totally not trying to be creepy but can I ask you bust measurement? I'm usually a size 6 US but I have a bigger bust and I'm wanting to make sure it's the right size before I cut my nice satin 😬

[@ambervonschassen1307]

Sierra Gilbert hey so I’ve made this too a couple times now in different sizes and my calculation is: Size 2-4=75cm square 6=80 cm square 8=85 cm square 10=90 cm square

[@patriciamejia648]

The best looking out of all the videos I've seen on KZbin. And a lot simpler to make than them too. Perfection.

[@MeAsTeee]

Thankyou super Lovely and easy ❤️

[@illuminadia6023]

I followed this tutorial and it came out amazing! I was a bit confused at first wondering if I actually needed to cut a 75cm square first, but I just cut out my correct sized rectangle from a large cut of fabric and it came out the same. The end result looks very sophisticated but this is easier than a T-shirt in my opinion! Thanks for the tutorial!

[@nim9582]

do u maybe know how many metres of fabric i need for this top? would 2 metres be enough?

Just did this. For anyone, my measurements for the belt was 2 meters and the strings were 75 meters each. The end product looked exactly like hers and I feel so cool in it. Now I have to do a skirt for it! Edit: I did the skirt and wanted mom to iron it...... she burned a part of it and now idk how to fix it i don't have enough fabric :')

[@I_am_Naa]

I think you mean 2 inches and 75 inches. Well done 👏

[@sazdeez8932]

Your work is amazing Judy!! Always looking forward to your videos ❤️

[@Maineeak]

I have so many questions! How do you make the small name tag thing for your brand? What machine do you use? Do you not have to overlock the edges when you’re sewing satin? Do you have an over locker/serger? If yes, what’s the name of it? How long have you been sewing? I absolutely love this and I wish you the best on your journey to success!

[@JudyGaoCouture]

The name tags were ordered online. I got mine from World Wide Labels. I use an industrial machine but you can make beautiful clothes with any working machine tbh. No need to overlock if the edges are not exposed. This avoids bulk on thin fabrics. The overlocker I have is from Bernina. I've been sewing for 13 years. I really appreciate your questions and I hope this will be helpful on your journey too

Yes! You can attach the strap to the ribbon. And to change the neckline, I have another video right after this one showing how to make adjustments :)
