Tutorial: Hip To Be Square upcycled top for little girls

Heather from Sew Easy Being Green shows how to make her Hip To Be Square upcycled top for little girls. It’s made from two large squares of knit fabric that have been repurposed from old t-shirts. The square shape is an easy sew, and you can give it a variety of looks depending on how you cut the neck (boatneck or off the shoulder) or how you treat the hem (hanging loose or cinched in). If you don’t have two t-shirts the same color, don’t worry. Cutting the front and the back from different colors creates a fun color blocked effect. Get the tute.
