This upcycle is super simple, so let’s get started.

Tools and materials:

Tank top to upcycle


Opening up side seams

1. Open up the side seams

For this DIY, I started out by opening up the side seams.

Using tube top as template

2. Use a tube top as a template

I then took a tube top that fits me and placed it over the center of the Aperol spritz graphic of my tank top. I’m going to be using the tube top as a template.


3. Cut around your template

Cut out both the front and back pieces of your tube top.

Putting right sides together

4. Put the right sides together and sew

Then, put the right sides together (the sides you would see when you’re wearing the top) and sew!

Where to sew

5. Zigzag stitch the top of the top

Pin down the very top of your top and then zigzag stitch that into place.
