  Step 1

  I hated this top. The neck went up way too high and the arm holes were constricting, but I did like the colours. So, time to transform. :)

  Step 2

  Firstly, take your vest top and cut it straight across horizontally from just under the arm holes.
  (Not: You can cut it shorter, but wanted mine longer so it doesn't look tarty)

  Also, if it's stripy like mine, you might wanna cut along a stripe so that it doesn't look shoddy when you're done.

• 

  Step 3

  Next, pull the fabric on to an ironing board (As is the board is wearing it).
  Fold down the ragged line you just cut and safety pin it. Iron it into a crease, being careful to keep the folded part as straight as possible.

• 

  Step 4

  Cut a strip of hemming web which is as long as the upward-facing side of your tube top. Place it under the flap and fold it back down.
  Next, cover the whole flap with a wet towel and iron on a high heat for a few seconds, until the flap is firmly stuck down with hemming web.

  Step 5

  It should look like this.

  Turn the tube top around and repeat for the other side.

  Step 6

  And now you're done! It can be worn over a vest top as shown, or if you're brave, on it's own. :) Enjoy.
