Hey y'all! This is a tutorial on making a bandeau! I've seen them in stores just about everywhere, but instead of just buying one.. I decided to make my own! I used items that were laying around the house, so it was free to make! It's really simple and anybody can do it!
You'll need a fitted tee, scissors, iron-on hemming tape, and an iron [of course]
Step 1: Try on the shirt and mark where you want the top and bottom of the bandeau to be. Remember you'll be hemming the bandeau, so add a little extra room for that!
Step 2: Cut the shirt. I started by cutting everything from the sleeves up off, then cutting the bandeau to the size I wanted.
Step 3: Turn it inside out. Fold the top and bottom about 1 inch for the hem. Iron the fold.
Step 4: Take the hemming tape and place it on the hem. Make sure that the tape is touching the piece you folded AND the "body" of the bandeau. Just follow the instructions on your hemming tape and it will make sense!
Step 5: Turn it right side out and try it on! Like it? Me too!
You can wear your new bandeau with some high waisted shorts, a high waisted skirt, and with just about anything else!
total cost: $0
