Creative and Unique Ways to Transform Old T-Shirts Into Trendy Summer Crop Tops and Accessories

Pretty top with side ruching perfect for date night

Crop tops never go out of style. Nothing says “chic” like a sassy crop top. In about 30 minutes, you can convert your everyday standard and unimpressive t-shirt into a ruched crop top that will bring out the casual, fun chic in you.

For this DIY, you need scissors, measuring tape, lace, tailor’s pins, tailor’s chalk, and a loop-turner. Using the scissors, carefully cut out the sleeves and neck of the shirt and trim the edges. Using the loop turner, convert some of the scrap fabric into beautiful loops and attach them to the shoulders and sides of your shirt. And there you have it, a lovely DIY crop top with side ruching. Pair it with jeans or a floral skirt.
