How to put side panels in a top

Hi guys!
Do you ever find that you have a top that is nice, but, well, a bit meh. Why don't you put some side panels in! These make the top look more individual and bright, as well as it being much cuter, especially if you use a contrasting colour or fabric.  Another good thing is that they are really easy to put in. So let's get started.


You will need:
- one t-shirt in need of brightening
- some other fabric
- a ruler
- pins
- scissors
- a sewing machine or needle and thread
1) Cut out a strip of the T- shirt on the side that you want to remove. Cut all the way from top to bottom. Then cut out a strip of fabric the same width and length as the strip of the T-shirt. Pin the two front sides together. Do this for the other side as well.
2) Sew the fabric and top together, taking out pins as you go. Hem the top and the bottom of the fabric strip. Then sew the top and fabric together along all three other seams.
Now you have finished putting the side panels in your top, so go out, wear it and be happy. ; )
