I have had this urging desire to make a Peplum Top after seeing the gorgeous …love maegan made her’s. I have been on the hunt for the perfect tops. Yesterday was “that” day, I found 2 tops that would work perfectly, and at $4 each I couldn’t say no. Thanks to Old Navy’s random but wicked sales, this Peplum Top cost me all of $8. Well that, and my time! But who cares, I got all the time in the world. I’m a stay at home mama! You’ll need 2 tops that are the same. One in your size and the second a lot bigger, The bigger the more pleats and the more volume you’ll have to your Peplum. Take your larger sized Tee and cut it where you want for length on your Peplum. Once cut, you will now separate at each seam so that you will end up with two equal pieces. Once you have them laid out you will layer 4 layers of Tulle. Since my Tee’s were mostly Cotton their was not much structure to them and I wanted some “pep” in my Peplum. So adding the tulle will give your pieces some volume. Fold both sides, pin and sew. Next sew the top over, pin and sew Next make your pleats of “scrunches”, pin and sew. Pin evenly to the sides of your shirt, and stitch. I chose to hand sew this part as by this point the materials were quite thick and I was afraid to “jam” my mama’s machine.
