CROP Tops! They Are All the Rage

Have you noticed that all tops are now cropped? Well I'm into it but I'm not about to drop dough on something that involves some old t shirts and a pair of scissors! Don't by, make!
If you are anything like me, you have an abundance of t-shirts in your closet you are sick of, well why not give them new life?
I wore this on July 4th after cutting off the bottom 4 inches. I wasn't a fan of the shape of the shirt on the bottom where it dipped. Now I like it again :)
Another example of an old tank that was a little too flowey for me. Sometimes shirts like this make be look bigger because I am so petite (I'm only 5'1).
So I cute this one too! Now I love it with a maxi skirt.
The last item I cropped, was a hoodie I've had for ages. It was a little to bulky, so I decided to crop it between where it said Pt. Pleasant and Beach so it would still make sense.
this time around, I needed to remove the front pocket too using this tool.
I don't have a clear method when it comes to cropping my shirts, I usually just lay it on me and see how long I want it to be then cut as straight as I can laying the top across the floor. I also like the unhemmed look so this is super easy if you are not a master seamstress.
Enjoyed the project?
