DIY Clothes

Being stuck inside has resulted in me having to find creative and fun ways to entertain myself. One of my new favorites is making new clothes out of my old clothes! There are a ton of different things you can do if you knew how to sew. Unfortunately I’m not one of those people so I’m a little limited in my resources but I wanted to share anyways!

The most common DIYs Ive been doing are crop tops. Not only is this so so simple, its also a great way to switch up some old t-shirts that probably aren’t in style. You can pick one with or without a logo. All you want to do it put on the shirt and look in the mirror to see the length you want your crop. I recommend putting a little sharpie mark at that point (makes it easier to cut). Next you just lay it as flat as you can and cut! I alway recommend cutting a little bit longer on the first try, just because you can always cut more but cant put it back once its gone. Thats literally how easy it is, you’re done! You can also do this with sweatshirts and long sleeves!

Another super easy DIY idea are shorts! If you have old pair of jeans laying around that went out of style or got to short then you can make a cute pair of cutoffs for summer. You do this the same way that you did the crop tops, but this time its REALLY important to measure and try on first. Remember, always cut longer first!

Not only is this a fun way to pass time, its also extremely productive for cleaning out your closet. Its also a nice way to feel like you’ve gotten something new without even having to leave the house.
