DIY Leather Shift Top
Monday, October 4, 2010
Minimalistic leather tops like this one are going to be evvvvvrywherrrrreee (yah) in the coming months, particularly in tan and caramel shades. Make like Maria from Vanillascented and DIY your own. Ok yes, this will definitely require a sewing machine, but if you can beg borrow steal or hire one to do this, it would definitely be worth it. Buy some leather (or leather look) fabric from a craft store, perhaps try to get something with a little bit of give, but not too much. Create the pattern for the top by using a top you have already, and tracing and cutting out two matching panels (in a non stretchy fabric so it matches the dimensions of the leather). Maria has added a seam down the back for a bit of interest, and you can do this too by cutting the back panel in half and then sewing it back together with one edge layered over the other.
