Upcycle: Denim Crop Top

Not an actual before shot but it was the closest I could find. 

After shot.

I hated the before shirt and how it looked but I didn't want to just donate it I wanted to create something new. I searched youtube for various fashion edits I could to do this top and I finally found the best one, turning it into a crop top. I don't wear crop tops so I'm going to be selling this one. I would rate this project as a novice project. I already had a strapless bodice pattern on hand that I made in school so it was just cutting and sewing together.

I was just reading her information on the video and she has a sweetheart bodice tutorial. 

You may be thinking "Hey you have a degree in fashion, why are you watching youtube videos" and the answer is I watch youtube videos to get inspiration. Sometimes just like writers, fashion designers get stuck in a fashion block and we need to look to others or the world to gain inspiration.
