- 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: amzn.to/2HcBk3b *
-Ball Point Needles: these are what I use: 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): amzn.to/2TEiTbr *
-Scissors: this is a great affordable set I’ve had for years: 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: amzn.to/2NkhoxP *
-Pins
-Tracing paper: amzn.to/3hiJkj9 *
-Tape Measure

Do you do your own nails? If so, a nail tutorial would be great!!!!
I'm so glad you liked it - thank you for watching!!! And yes I do my own nails, I'll definitely keep a tutorial in mind, thanks for the suggestion :) Maybe I can come up with some sewing nail art haha!
Wow you are great
Omg, I have just found your channel tonight and it's great! I just watched this video because I was interested in how you did it (obviously).
I have this dress pattern that I love & have made twice & I want to make it again, but changing the bodice but had no idea how I would do that. Then you showed me on this video!
I do have a question though, the fabric I have isn't stretchy, does that mean it probably wouldn't work if I copied the way you did it? Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much! I am about to sew my very first shirt and this is what I will start on! Thank you again, great video!
Umm... I sewed it by hand and it took about 3 hours, but I messed up a bit. I made the collage to long, and it falls off my shoulders. I want to wear it to school though! Does anyone have any tips or anything to help me out? Thanks!
Hmm, I wonder - could you make a strip of fabric that you could attach to the back of the neckline from shoulder to shoulder that would help hold the shoulders up around you? I haven't done this myself but it might be a solution to be able to keep the neckline/shoulders in place, plus it would add a fun detail! I hope that helps some!
Thank you very much! I’ll defiantly try that!
One question: does it have to be stretchy fabric?
Mukta Mann Yes it does have to be stretchy fabric. Thanks for watching!
very cute peplum top - I want to make one with a co ordinate pencil skirt
Thank you! Oh that would be so cute!! You’ll have to let me know how it turns out 😃
The ten people who didn’t like this video are cray cray! You just got yourself another subscriber mam! Thank you for this video and all the others I will watch in the future! Oh and LOVE the marvel shirt 😍
Aw thanks so much!!! 😊 I really appreciate that! Thanks for subscribing to my channel and YES, Marvel rules haha!
You looked beautiful in this shirt great video
Aw thank you so much! I'm glad you liked the video and thank you for watching :)
This top turned out so pretty. I love it! And watch out for those pesky leaves.....they jump on your head from all angles, teehee. It's well and truly Autumn here in Northern Ireland. We got our first frost last night and hit 0 degrees C so, to steal a line from Game of Thrones.....Winter is coming.....heehee. Great tutorial, as always. Lee :)
HAHAHA! Yes, I had NO idea it was a leaf, I thought it was a giant bug or something LOL! :) Oh my goodness you sure are getting cold weather there, I bet it's even colder now since when you left the comment... stay warm! Do you have a lot of beautiful fall foliage there? Our leaves haven't changed a whole lot and a lot of them have fallen due to wind from tropical storms that came through so it's pretty bland here. We're finally getting fall weather though, but I'd gladly exchange it for summer weather lol! Thanks so much for watching and enjoy the season! :)
@@ComicatCreations Hi Monica. Yes, Northern Ireland has a beautiful Autumn. Our foliage is stunning with all its golden ambers and browns. It's a beautiful place to live. I love it here. Lee ;)
Super
Thanks so much! 😃
excellent tutorial. Loved it. Easy to understand. Keep them coming. It was a leaf HAHAHAHA
Aw thank you, I’m so glad you enjoyed it and thought it was easy to follow, that’s the best compliment! And haha yeah that definitely surprised me, who knew a leaf could be so scary 😄 Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for your video, I’m a first time sewer and I want to make a drop waist peplum top, can you give do a video on that or advise would I just add more inches to drop the waist?
Very nice sister
Thanks for watching!
Which fabric company makes this quilted knit? I love it and would love to get the same type if they still sell it! I’m also in NC I think it’s cooler this year than usual so I’m ramping up fall sewing.
Ha you are a laugh.....I Love your tutorials you explain and show everything really well and I can see everything that you do. Thanks so much
Thank you!! 😃 I'm really happy you like the tutorials and I so appreciate you watching... and glad you got a laugh too 😄Happy almost new year!
Great make & explanations as always..Enjoy watching your videos..Noticed you have never used any actual patterns to make an outfit, is there a reason why?
Thank you so much, I’m glad you enjoy them! 😃 I really don’t enjoy sewing with patterns at all and I know there are a lot of people who have a hard time with them as well so I like to make my own tutorials that someone can follow just by using things they have in their house, rather than having them have to buy a specific pattern in order to make something, if that makes sense! 😃 Thanks for watching!!
Well done, it's beautiful, your explanation is great.
I personally would have bodice to waist, then peplum. I'm 4'10 size 8/10, as I'm short, it simply looks better, plus I need a slightly drapier fabric.
You taller people get away with it! 🙂
I see in US and other Countries Petite is 5'4" and under! Where was I when this changed? Growing up it was always 5'2" and under. 2" is a lot for us Petites 😁... we count every eight of an inch!
No, I jest. My height has never been an issue. My shortest boyfriend was 5'6". Husband a tad over 6'. In between, there weren't many, but they were all tall, which always made my Mum laugh! Me too. Nowadays, young people have such phobias about height, weight, etc.
I was always told great goods come in small packages, so I was oblivious that I was short. I wish it were the same for young ones now, with all this body conscience nonsense and mimicking so-called Celebrities, it's really tough on them.
That's where sewing helps. You can make what you like and it fits....
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked the top! Yes, I love the peplum tops with the bodices that are longer but I can never seem to pull them off myself LOL! They always look great on petite frames :)
Haha wow you have quite the height difference between you and your hubby!!! I always think it's cute when I see couples that are a super tall guy with a petite girl! I'm glad that you didn't have any issues with self-conscience because you are so right, these days it is SO extreme! On social media everyone's either too short, too tall, too heavy, too skinny... nobody is left alone! Luckily I was a teenager right before Facebook and social media really exploded so any issues I had with being self conscience over anything wasn't magnified by everything I'd see online... But now kids never escape it. They're always online or on social media, they're even more susceptible to bullying, and the only things they usually see of what they're "supposed" to look like is fake, photoshopped, or a result of plastic surgery! It's horrible! Hopefully one day we'll see a world where all sizes, shapes, heights, colors, etc. will be accepted but I think we'll always have those ignorant people who will find something to pick on. But I guess until then, we all just gotta stick together and be kind to one another :)
Thank you so much I received so many complaints on my peplum top
Thank you for watching! Hopefully you mean compliments, in which case I'm glad to hear that you made one 😃
H, love your tutorials. I don't have stretch fabric but a lightweight polyester. With Covid 19 now, I am not going to fabric stores. Do i have to make pieces bigger? Thank you.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them! This one won’t work with non stretch fabric with the way I made it because it wouldn’t fit right, but I do have a playlist of some projects I’ve made with non stretch fabrics that you might be able to use your fabric for 😃 I also have a new tutorial coming up most likely later today that uses non stretch fabric so I hope you’ll enjoy it! Thanks for watching and stay safe!
Thank you so much I love your videos ..can you be so kind to let me know what is the needle that i have to use?.please
Thanks for watching them - I’m happy you like them! I use a ball point needle for all my stretch fabrics. If you scroll partway down in the description of this video I have a link to the ball point needles I always buy if you would like to see what they are 😃
Thank you I been wanting to make one.. could this also work a full circle?
Yeah it could definitely work with a full circle!! It’d be an even fuller peplum which I think would look great! Thank you for watching 😃
@@ComicatCreations great thank you for replying
First of all i love your tutorials. Second i just made this top CV and i dont have the flare on my peplum. I used stretch ponte. Can you tell me where i went wrong? Does the peplum suppost to be wider than the shirt or do they suppose to be the same size?
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy them! Hmm I wonder, is the fabric you used more light and flowy? If it doesn’t have much structure it may just kind of hang rather than flaring out. The peplum and shirt were the same size on the ones I’ve made.
👍💖💖
Oooooo so you subtract and not add to get ur seam allowance. Thanks so much. Been wondering y every time I cut mine it's never enough
For most things when sewing you do have to add a half inch to get seam allowance, but when you’re doing the calculations for a circle or half circle skirt (or peplum in this case) you have to subtract for just that one step because of the way we calculate and draw out the waist! 😃
Thanks for watching!
Thanks so much.
Where did u get 3.14 from?
3.14 (which is Pi) is the number/formula you have to use to be able to draw a half circle, which is what this peplum top uses to get the flared peplum part 😃
I'm hoping to get into sewing soon! I'm a complete beginner (I don't even have a sewing machine yet lol) but I just have to say that this tutorial will be the first one that I use. Thank you so much for making it so easy to understand and straight forward. Can't wait to try this!
😊
