Now, how to make the textured tube top:
1) Cut fabric as if making a simple tube top, but add about 5" extra length at the top of the front piece
2) Make several horizontal pleats with the excess fabric at the top of the front piece
3) Sew over top of the pleats back and forth several times (I made zig-zags across the entire front) to keep the pleats in place (Kind of like how I made this pillow )
That's it! You can finish off the top and bottom edges, but I just left mine raw.
tube tops have never been my favorite but must say that I really like yours very pretty
