Repurposing Quickie: How to Turn Leggings into a Top with Just One Snip

Modified: Oct 19, 2018 by Elisabeth Kruger · This post may contain affiliate links · 1 Comment

Repurposing Quickie: How to Turn Leggings into a Top with Just One Snip...Remember that pair of boldly patterned leggings that you bought as an impulse buy but have never actually worn? Or that older pair that really just aren’t in style anymore?

Or what about that other pair that just doesn’t fit quite as well? Well if you like the fabric and pattern—just not as leggings—then don’t let it go to waste – there’s a really easy way to transform the unwanted and unworn leggings into a really cute crop top.

I absolutely hate getting rid of clothes, so if I don’t like them as they are anymore, I find a way to turn them into something I love.

This little trick is genius, and all it takes is one snip. No sewing, no fuss. You fold the leggings in half and then literally just cut a half-circle in the back part for the neckline so that the legs have now become the arms.

And if you don’t like the long sleeves then two quick little cuts can change it into short sleeves or no sleeves.
