  Step 1 of 8

  Take a piece of cloth that is around 1 yard, fold it from corner to corner twice, so you have 4 layers.

  Step 2 of 8

  Take one of your own top that fits well, fold it across center and align it with the center of the second fold. Make sure the shoulder is aligned with the first fold.

  Cut along the body, make sure you cut it so that the waist part is smaller! Also, be at least one inch away from your own top to allow space to stitching.

  Cut out the neckline, the first cut should be small, its more for the back neck.
