Hey everyone! ๐ Today, I'm super excited to share with you guys my latest DIY project - a jumpsuit makeover from old long sleeves.
I know, I know, it sounds crazy, but trust me, it's a game-changer! ๐
The idea struck me just as I was about to head out. I was rummaging through my closet and stumbled upon an old long sleeve top that I hadn't worn in ages. I thought, why not give it a new life? And thus, my DIY project was born.
*Materials Used:*
1. Old long sleeve top
2. Scissors
3. Measuring tape
4. Needle
5. Thread
6. Lighter (optional)
The procedures
*Step 1*
I laid out the long sleeve top on a flat surface, measured the areas I wanted to cut out, and got to work with my trusty scissors. ๐โ๏ธ It was therapeutic, I swear! ๐
*Step 2*
I cut out the downside of the fabric, making sure it was straight and even. You might be wondering, "Why the downside?" ๐ค Well, I wanted to create a seamless look, and this was the best way to do it. ๐ฏ
*Step 3*
Next, I measured and cut the sleeves. I wanted them to be perfect, so I tested the fit on myself. Let's just say it wasn't quite what I had in mind... ๐ I mean, have you ever tried to cut your own hair? Yeah, it was kinda like that. ๐ But I didn't give up! ๐ช
*Step 4*
Now it's time for the fun part - stitching! ๐จ I opted for hand-stitching because I wanted precision and control. Plus, it's so satisfying to see your stitches come together. ๐ I'm not gonna lie, my hands hurt a bit after this, but it was worth it! ๐ฏ
*Step 5*
I started stitching from the downside of the cloth, working my way up to the armpit length. My stitches might not be perfect, but I'm proud of how they turned out! ๐ And let's not forget the finishing touches - I trimmed the excess thread and used a lighter to finish the edges. ๐ฅ
*Step 6*
And... voilร ! ๐ My jumpsuit makeover is complete! I wore it out, and I got so many compliments. ๐ I'm not gonna lie, I felt like a million bucks! ๐
