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!

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. Liverpool knit would be the perfect fabric for this project!

-A fitted top with sleeves to use as a template (it won’t get cut up or destroyed)

-Sewing Machine: this is the machine I use: https://amzn.to/2HcBk3b *

-Ball Point Needles: these are what I use: https://amzn.to/3ehIgvi *

-Thread: this is my favorite because it’s strong & durable (I've found its worth buying better quality thread because cheaper thread breaks a lot, especially on stretch fabric): https://amzn.to/2TEiTbr *

-Scissors: this is a great affordable set I’ve had for years: https://amzn.to/2NMnZBl *

-(Optional) Walking Foot: if you’re using a stretch fabric that sews really wavy, a walking foot can help it sew smoother. Here’s the one I use with my Singer machine: https://amzn.to/2NkhoxP *

-Pins

-Tracing paper: https://amzn.to/3hiJkj9 *

-Tape Measure
