No-Sew Bikini
Don't worry ladies, we haven't forgotten about you on this, our first How-to Tuesday. We managed to track down an excellent and easy homemade bikini for the DIY females in the audience. So if you're tired of shopping for swimsuit, here is a simple way to make your own. And best of all, it involves no sewing or stitching.
We found this swimsuit and a couple other equally easy templates in the Crafts section of Martha Stewart.com. All you’ll need is a yard of spandex, scissors and a couple of pins.
- Start by making your pattern by folding one yard of swim fabric in half width-wise on a smooth, flat surface. If you want two colors, fold 1/3 yard of a piece in half, widthwise, and lay it over the first piece at one edge. Make the pattern using the ready-made templates on the Martha Stewart website
- At the fold, pin the top’s pattern through both colors, the bottom’s through one, then cut.
- Tie the bottom in a double knot at both hips and tuck the ends under.
- Holding both layers of the top, twist it, wrap it around your chest, and double-knot the ends in back.
