Square Neck Crop Top DIY | Sewing tutorial | Free pattern

[@taniakyriakou1823]

I’m a beginner. I’m so thrilled to have found you. Your instructions are clear. And your designs are beautiful. I’m a lot larger than your largest size (I’m 48 according to the chart or XL) I’ll try your largest size first and see how I go. Thank you. 🙏

[@isainstitches]

Thanks for your comment! Sewing is fun!! It won't do if your measurements are very different to my biggest size! I don't recommend as you'll waste fabric unfortunately!

[@taniakyriakou1823]

@@isainstitches It’s ok. I’ll buy some cheap fabric. No harm in experimenting. Sometimes I fit into smaller sizes when the fabric is stretchy. But I am thinking of trying to increase the sizing slightly. Also, I was going to make up my own pattern but having something to start with is infinitely better.

Heck yes, triple upload!!! (that i can understand hehe) Thank youuuu! :) I'm thinking of developing a capsule wardrobe, so these types of tutorials really help!

[@isainstitches]

That's awesome, my goal too!!! Do you want it all to be memade??

[@carolinaclaudio1953]

@@isainstitches memade would be fantastic, but I have a lot of pieces that I love and use a lot. While those don't break beyond repair, I have time to sew 😄 How is your wardrobe going? Do you want yours to be all memade?

[@isainstitches]

I need one for the summer, another one for winter! A lot of work as I'm so picky! But I like this exercice of cutting things down to the essential. Hm... nay it's not necessary for me to have it all memade, but for certain items it'd be a dream, memade and really adapted to my body!!

[@carolinaclaudio1953]

@@isainstitches from your videos, it seems that you like form fitting clothing, so it makes sense that they are memade, most flattering to your unique shape :) Good job and bonne chance!

Thank you SO much for providing these patterns, it is a gift!! I have a question about this one - can you wear a regular bra with it? Just thinking about whether the straps might show or not. Thank you so much!

[@isainstitches]

Hi! It's a good question, you'll have to check, I wouldn't want to say something wrong (since I don't wear bras)

You're very welcome!

[@misskellyngo]

Hi!! I’m completely new. What does “right sides together mean”? Thank you so much, can’t wait to try this out.

[@isainstitches]

Hi Kelly! It's the side of the fabric that'll be visible to the world when you wear the garment. Consequently the "wrong side" with the hidden side, worn against the skin. Sometimes the right and the wrong side look the same. But most often they don't (the color, the weaving pattern look different...), check out the clothes you have on right now as a test :))

[@jessica8647]

Thanks! 🙏Helpful and easy to follow🌺🎀

[@isainstitches]

You're welcome!

[@roxanaboitel7095]

hi! I downloaded your pattern and on the pattern piece it gives half of the front side and half of the back side. How do I use this to cut out a full back piece and full front piece?

[@isainstitches]

Hi Roxana, you cut your fabric "on the fold". Fold your fabric in half respecting the grain line, lay the piece of paper, pin or lay something heavy, trace or cut directly. That way it's faster and symmetrical

[@charlottebown3245]

do you think this would work if i cut pattern pieces out of an old stretchy shirt? i have a shirt that i hate the cut of but would probably work for this

[@isainstitches]

Sure! Try it!

[@char1089]

Can I sew this using the same method as the reversible crop top? I'm trying to think it through but I'm not sure if I'll be able to turn it out correctly if I sew both sides of the straps together.

[@isainstitches]

Hi! No you can't follow the same steps. Oh man, I can't explain, I'd have to show it. But it's you'd have to leave the shoulders open and an opening at the bottom (waist). So when you turn inside out, right side out, you pull the shoulder out of the bottom opening and finish them there. And finally the bottom opening by hand. Hope this bit helps! You might find some info watching bathing suits video!

[@thefrogsbif]

Hi! I've been trying my hand at this and something's not going my way. I used a twin needle with a straight stitch for the hems but the bobbin thread ends up too tight and breaking. Is it just a matter of thread tension or am I missing something else? Any help would be sweeeeet. Thanks for your tutorials!

[@isainstitches]

Hi there! Hmm not sure but yes, I'd say so, that you'd need to loosen the bobbin thread tension... Not entirely convinced though, because I never had to touch my bobbin thread tension before. You have to run some test, also modifying the upper threads tension

[@thefrogsbif]

@@isainstitches Yeah I did a ton of tests and went and bought a stretch twin needle but it's still a bit iffy. I did get a wearable top out of it though, so thank you! Just have to be real careful getting it over my head haha.

[@isainstitches]

@@thefrogsbif Yes this happened to me too... the twin needle makes a prettier finish but the zig zag is more stretchy and therefore durable... trade off!

[@beatricedelapena]

Can I still do this with a tank top that I have and just trace it with a fabric or a t shirt?

[@isainstitches]

You can take any tank top, trace it on fabric (from a old garment or a the fabric store) and follow the exact same steps

[@beatricedelapena]

@@isainstitches ok nice thanks so much😭❤️

[@Nori-6778]

should i be sewing on top of the pins??

[@isainstitches]

I learnt sewing that way (with professionals) so you can. But most people I see sewing on KZbin remove them... to be honest the result is 3% better when you remove the pins but it's more work

[@elenasandoval4799]

Hey! Loved the tutorial. One question, is it normal if I'm going to sticht the front and the back part toguether and the straps don't match? Like, if I try for the waist's sides to match the straps don't match.

[@isainstitches]

Yes, they don't match when then top lays flat but on you it won't be an issue : pin and try it first!

@@JaxonCummings Ok no problem, that's on purpose, as the straps had a tendency to fall.

When you say at 2:38 you’re pulling the basking thread away , are you removing the stitches after you hem the edges

That's right! (the basting thread, as they're just useful to hold the fabric in place)

[@jasminsalhani6799]

hi, I don't really understand the double needle part❤

[@isainstitches]

Hi Jasmin, which part is confusing? I'm venturing an answer: twin needles are an alternative to the zig zag stitch which you need to use with stretchy fabrics. They look nicer I think, but make a less stretchy stitch
