Grommet Busted Top : Pattern+Sewing

I created this top inspired by a top I already owned and this very simple can be sewn up in about an hour ( Depending on your experience )

I used up the scraps from my previous sewing projects since this little top requires very little fabric.

Supples Needed:

• Stretch Fabric : Scraps / cut up tee
• Small piece of denim . This with help stabilize your grommets
• grommets ( 8)
• Strap / cord / shoelace
• D rings ( 2 – 4 )

S E W I N G :

-Cut out all pieces : front – back – grommet strip

-Use a piece of scrap denim for interfacing for grommet stip. Will help support your grommets in stretchy fabric and will help from falling out .

-Pin and sew front to back x do the same for the lining

-Fold the grommet strip. Layer the self fabric with the denim lining (wrong side facing) Will be turned sides together after sewn

– Serge the sides and top for grommet strip ( see the white thread in photo )

-Pin Right sides together

-Serge the top and bottom edges of the top leaving the center front and strap handles open .

-*** I had to go over my overlock stitches with a zig zag stitch since I didn’t adjust my serger for the stretch fabric and was pulling out stitches ***

-Turn Right side out

-Use d Rings for strap holder . I used 1/2 inch d rings .

-I cut a 1/2 inch wide scrap fabric for the back . ( Sorry for the blurry photo )

-Pin in Place and sew

-Pin the grommet strip and sew right sides together

-Turn to right side and top stitch to secure the thick seams.

-I added my label . But this is how it should look now. Getting ready to add the grommets

-This is the tools for my grommets . I then will measure out the spacings and install them in .

-Add the straps and you’re done ! I used a corded shoe lace
