Learn how to make a halter top from scratch without a pattern in my latest step by step sewing tutorial! It’s super easy to sew, and because it’s made with stretch fabric it’s easy to get a great fit as well. You could even use this same idea to make a halter top from a t-shirt by using an old t shirt as the fabric to upcycle and show off some of your cool old tees!
This is a great sewing project for beginners that will be quick and easy to sew, so I hope you enjoy learning how to make this shirt! It's totally customizable, too - I made a full length tank top but you could make a crop top with this same tutorial.

MATERIALS NEEDED:
Fabric: About a yard of a stretch knit fabric (I only need ¾ of a yard, so this is a great project to use fabric remnants on!) – it does need to be stretchy fabric so you get the great fit without having to add darts and so you can get it on and off easily without needed a zipper.

Thank you so much for watching this tutorial! I love wearing halter tops during summer as they’re so comfortable and help keep me cool. I love wearing them with pants or shorts, or tucked into a skater skirt like I did in my spring look book video to give the appearance of a halter top skater dress. This will be a simple project to sew and perfect if you’re a beginner seamstress and you want to learn how to make your own clothes easy!
Thanks for taking the time to watch my tutorial!
XO,
Monika
