The afternoon light filtered through the bedroom window as she sat surrounded by scraps of soft, stretchy jersey fabric. She had decided that today was the day to stop waiting for the perfect outfit and just make it herself. With a pair of fabric scissors and a steady hand, she carefully measured out a rectangular section of a deep emerald cloth—a color that always made her feel powerful.

Cut a rectangular piece of fabric that is approximately 2-3 times the width of your bust measurement. The length of the fabric should be about 12-15 inches (30-38 cm), depending on how long you want your tube top to be.

: Pair your new top with a high-waisted skirt or jeans for a balanced silhouette.
