Easy vintage wrap top
This vintage wrap top design is an easy beginners project: you don’t need a pattern, you can customise it to your own size, and despite lacking stretch it doesn’t require any zippers or buttons.
The top is made out of woven fabric and consists of a rectanglein which a holefor the head is cut. Strapsare added to the short sides of the rectangle to tie the top around your body.
AssunDIYonYoutubealso has tutorials for two variations on this top: a rectangle shirt version and a butterfly shirtversion.
Given the simplicityof this top, it’s a neat way to use up old bed sheets and such.
Some examples:

(Image source) [ID: two photo’s. Photo one shows a person wearing a wrap top made from a dark blue fabric with white flowers. The top has very wide sleeves. Text: “Free pattern + video”. Photo two shows the same top lying on a white background. It has a drop-shaped neckhole, two sets of straps (one thin and one thick), and round bulging sleeves.]
I made one of these on a whim out of scrap fabric the other day. So comfy! So fast to sew! Definitely recommend as a casual project.
