Adjust Long tops

I have got this tops a couple years ago when I loved to wear leggings with long tops.

But nowadays my fashion has changed. I love to wear skirts and dresses.
And this tops is too long for my current fashion.

I have been thinking that I could shorten this tops... but I was a little scared in case if I would have mistaken.

While I have been browsing other people's sewing blogs (I love to read other people's blogs!) and noticed some people has the same ideas and they actually did it even they have never done before!

Today, I have decided to cut this tops..! Ohhhhh... Am I ok... Come on, Yasuko. You can do it!

I cut...

Gosh. I really cut the tops..

Then cut the elastic part.
Ok, I can attach them together. And I cut the elastic parts to half.

Now sewing time. To avoid mistaken, I have read the sewing machine instructions for overcasting as I don't have lock sewing machine. 

I'm using Brother Innovis-55. 

So, I set up like this. I set casting to 5.0. 

Let's sewing..!
I have used a lots of pins to make sure elastic parts and fabric will be set correctly..

At first, I did sew very slow. But at the middle, I started to have a confident, so set machine speed up. But of course it was not max!

Then... Ho ho ho..! I did it!

Good, I will use this tops more! Yay!

Have a happy sewing,
Yasuko
