You can use old t-shirts or jersey knit fabric. If you sew (Peggy) then you can embellish, finish, and experiment with other fabrics. Honestly, if I can do this anyone can!
I would love to see the tops or dresses you make! Send me pictures!

DIY: How to make a drawstring halter top/dress
I scoured the internet to find a how-to tutorial that would show me easy instructions to make this top. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for, so I've made my own. As the queen of instant gratification, I avoid difficult sewing projects at all costs (I hate patterns and instructions). This project is incredibly easy and almost no sew. Believe me, I've never been one to wear a piece of clothing I've made and this is my new favorite wardrobe addition!

That is very fun. But now you need to make one with absolutely no sewing, since I don't have a machine...

Amie, you can easily handstitch the top seams! Because the drawstrings cinch up the top, the stitching is virtually invisible! Give it a try!!
ReplyDeleteI would definitely use a zig-zag stitch, as it holds up to stretching and pulling a lot more than the straight stitch does!
