DIY Singlet



From plain, white singlet to a singlet which screams fun, fab and girly! DIY singlets are exciting to wear and also make great, personal gifts -- I gifted mine to my younger sister for Christmas! Basically, this singlet was created using the left over material from the previous DIY projects! A few things you will need to get started:
  • Singlet (of any size, shape or colour! I used an old, simple, spaghetti strap v-neck)
  • Material of all sorts!
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Material Glue (optional)
  • Sewing Machine
Firstly, chop off the boring, old straps of the original singlet. In order to create my own straps, I prepared 2 pieces of rectangular material, identical in size (~3x15cm). To prevent fraying, I folded the edges in and sewed them together. The next step also involves the use of a sewing machine. Simply sew the straps onto the inside of the singlet!

Obviously, it looks a bit ugly now because you can totally see the stitching and such but that's where the flowers come in!!! So get your pencil and start drawing! I drew and cut out multiple flowers using a light pink material. I then sewed them onto the straps 3 at a time using the sewing machine (however, you will have much more control if you sewed the flowers on by hand). For the back of the singlet, I added 2 cute bows to cover up the stitching.

The last few steps are pretty simple. Be creative and draw whatever you'd like onto the backside of any piece of material, cut it out and sew it on (you might want to glue on your designs before you sew but be careful! Don't use too much and let it dry before you sew -- you don't want to damage the needle of your sewing machine! EEK!!). Personalise it however you wish! Then, finally, IRON IT and then you're ready to show it off!

xoxo,
Shannen
