Up-cycled BODYSUIT Out of A Tank Top


Bodysuits are pretty much everywhere right now, You can't even go in a Store or on Pinterest these days without being one PIN away from one! They are super cute, but from what I have found shopping around are also super over-priced!Every time I found a cute one priced around $80-- I would always think to myself how are they getting away with charging that for a $5-- tank top with a pinched bottom... that arguably has less fabric than said tank top! 
Eureka moment buy said $5-- Tank Top & Do It My Dang Self! 
I am Happy with how it turned & decided I would put together a little tutorial sharing two different ways to wear it, in hopes that it would help inspire others to think about possibly re-using or re-purposing something they may already have first!


What You Will Need: 
~ A Black Tank Top ( I got mine from Walmart Canada for less than $5--)
~ White Paint / Fabric Marker 
~ Underwear ( For measuring)
~ Scissors 


~ Needle & Thread 

How To:  


Step 1. Turn your Tank Top inside out (so that any markings made are done so on the inside)
Step 2. Lay your Tank Top Out Flat 

Step 3. Begin tracing the front of your underwear onto the front of the Tank Top.
 Being mindful to Line up the bottom of your underwear with the bottom of your Tank Top; & to pull the fabric taught as you go. 

Step 4. Flip over your Tank Top & this time trace the back of your underwear onto the back of your Tank Top.  Also Being Mindful to line up the Sides 
As shown in Image 3 ABOVE.

Step 5.
 Repeat this process for the Other Side. 

Step 6. Cut out the Sides. 

Step 7. Gather the two narrow pieces in the middle, carefully & slightly overlap them 

Step 8. sew them together using a Needle & Thread.
