Recycling: make a bikini from an old t-shirt
It's most definitely bikini time, and our friends over at Crafty Crafty are getting busy with the scissors to turn old t-shirts into stunning beachwear. If you're prepared to do a small amount of chopping and sewing, a bikini is one of the easiest items to make, and using old fabrics is a great way to recycle, whilst avoiding buying mass-produced garments in the process.
Following this ten step tutorial you can turn any t-shirt into a sizzling bikini that'll go down a storm on the beach. I'd love to try embroidering mine once the transformation had been made, possibly sewing on some sequins, too. Or how about tie-dying the fabric first?
that IS an incredible idea! however, i can see googly-eyed guys all over the world hoping and praying that the girls who take on this diy were lousy seamstresses. ;-)
