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 rectangle in which a hole for the head is cut. Straps are added to the short sides of the rectangle to tie the top around your body.

There's a lot of variations on this top: to see examples, check out these written tutorials by Sew What Gilly, Freshly Given, Gina Michele, Sadie the Sewing Machine, The Thread, and Mood Fabrics.

AssunDIY on Youtube also has tutorials for two variations on this top: a rectangle shirt version and a butterfly shirt version.

Given the simplicity of this top, it's a neat way to use up old bed sheets and such.

Some examples:

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.]

CRAB! CRAB! CRAB!

The Horseshoe Crab pattern is now available!

Available on ko-fi for $35 USD or pay-what-you-want!

I’ve been completely blown away by the response to my horseshoe crab! Since a bunch of people have expressed interest in making their own, I've put together a pattern and instructions so anyone who wants to can make their very own sea puppy to love and to hold. 

This is a digital download which includes instructions and the pattern, printable either on a standard home printer or on a wide-format architectural printer. 

The instructions are for leather; however, the pattern pieces should work in other materials as well– you may just have to adjust slightly for any different medium you use. (For example, for fabric, you would need to add seam allowance.) Stiff, non-stretch materials are recommended for the best results.

If you make a horseshoe crab of your own, please tag me in any photos you post– I’d love to see them! I’m excited to see different takes on it. 

Go forth and make a creature!

It is not done (needs seam binding and strap), but over the weekend I made a fish purse.

The pattern is here https://www.thegirlandthelamb.com/shop/swim-along-sewing-pattern and I used EPP to make the scaled body.
