If you want to cut and stitch a top in a straightforward and easy way, here’s a step-by-step technique you can follow:

Materials Needed:

  • Fabric of your choice
  • Fabric scissors
  • Measuring tape or ruler
  • Fabric chalk or washable marker
  • Pins
  • Sewing machine or needle and thread

Draw pattern Pattern according to Measurements:

Here’s the measurement list:

Those measurements are marked with cm.

top length: 50cm

Waist: 28cm*4

Shoulder: 30cm

Neck width: 15*2cm

Neck height front:10cm

Neck height back: 2.5 cm

Sleeve width: 20cm

Steps:

  1. Marking:
  1. At first, mark for length, and it is 50cm.
  2. Mark width ,it is 28+ 2 cm, 2 cm for shaping .I take total 30 cm width because, the fabric is 4 fold.
  3. Mark for shoulder, it is 20cm from neck ending line. I mark 7 cm lower and draw a line with neck ending width, because our shoulder is not a flat surface it has a slope in the ending part.
  4. From 7cm point to 20cm I mark a point for the sleeve, so I don’t have a hassle for cutting, making and attaching the sleeve.
  5. From the sleeve edge corner to 2 cm right side, I mark a point.
  6. from this point to bottom point 28 cm width in waist.
  • Mark the outline of your top on the fabric using fabric chalk or a washable marker. Include seam allowances (typically 1/2 inch to 1 inch) around your measurements for sewing.
  • Cutting:

  • After finishing all the markings, I take the sharp scissor and cut according to my line. Take your time to ensure the cut is even and follows the marked line accurately. If you’re cutting a straight line, keep the scissors steady and move them smoothly along the fabric.

 

Sewing:

after cutting, you can sew it by hand or with the help of a machine.

Steps:

 

  1. Sew the two shoulder
  2. Sew both sides according to the line
  3. Sew the hem of sleeve
  4. Sew hem of bottom part
  5. Add an extra fabric part for the sewing neck. 

 

So, you will get a top like this.

 

Happy stitching.
