How to Make a Peplum Top Without a Pattern | Easy Sewing Projects for Beginners | DIY

Learn how to sew a peplum top from scratch in today’s sewing tutorial – no pattern needed! It's made with a stretch knit fabric which makes it easy to fit and a great sewing project for beginners who know how to use a sewing machine and are ready to learn how to make clothes! The blouse is made with a thicker heavy weight stretch knit fabric which gives it the structured look, and heavy knits are easier to sew with than lightweight knits so it's a good project if you want to start learning how to sew with stretch knit fabric; although you could also use a lighter weight knit to make a flowy top without so much structure if you'd like. I give you tips on how to sew and how to hem stretch fabric so you'll be able to make it with confidence! ***** CHECK OUT ALL MY FAVORITE SEWING SUPPLIES AND ACCESSORIES HERE: https://www.amazon.com/shop/comicatcr... * ***** MATERIALS NEEDED: -At least 1.5 yards of a stretch knit fabric – I used a heavy weight fabric (called jacquard knit) for the structured peplum.
