Making an elastic crop top for myself using Ankara
**Hello needle work lovers**
Good morning to you all 
Hope you're all having a fun filled day already

Recently i shared with you on how i made my elastic skirt and i also said that i felt a need to make a top that goes with it  too and i actually made it. 
    This crop top could actually be used on different outfits which are the black skirt or trousers, white skirt or trousers and the Ankara skirt i previously made , i do not regret making it ๐Ÿฅฐ
This two piece is more like a birthday gift i gifted myself and not matter how little it seem i feel it's pretty ๐Ÿ’–

These are the few steps i used in making the top:

It doesn't require much steps though but it requires much time on the sewing machine 

Firstly, i took a measurement of myself which were the bust, waist, length of the top , the hand etc
I used the measurements of my length  and also used the body measurement multiplied by two to cut out my material

I then divided that material into two

After that, i folded one of the material into two and cut out the armpit

I placed it on the second material and cut of the same part i did in the other one

And this is when the real deal started. 
I picked the first part of the material and started sewing with my elastic thread, i made each edge of the top as tiny as i could so that it will attach to the body and not leaving the edges open and in the middle part, i sewed less than half an inch each 
This was when i completed the first part

I did same with the second part

I then joined the two of them together 

After this , i proceeded to cutting the sleeves of the cloth

I put elastic in the hem of the sleeve
