easy peasy sewing tutorial {that stretchy band thing for your midriff}

If you're not sure what this thing is for, see my previous post (it's a good introduction, trust me).

So, as promised, here's the tutorial.

What you'll need:
  • a stretchy top in your size (I used a cheap fitted tee)
  • scissors, for cutting fabric
  • measuring tape
  • ruler (or just an object with a long straight edge - you could use a book)
  • chalk, for marking your fabric
  • a sewing machine (but you could easily do this by hand)










Now step into it and hide it under your top. Looks good, huh?


Now tell me, how did I do? Clear instructions? Was the text big enough? Have you made one following my instructions? How did it go?

  1. Maybe it's because a man, but I don't get what it is you've made.

  5. all the stores have boob tubes come short skirts at this time of year- they generally tend to be a heavy t-shirt material with stretch and come in a wide range of colours-- one of those worn around the waist could also work
