Guest Post: 10 Summery Clothes for You to DIY

June 23, 2011 by FaveCrafts

Once again, Kira at Tip Hero provides us with a great roundup–this time on summery clothes!

How’s your summer wardrobe looking this season? If you’re a bit low on wearable summer clothing for this season, you can easily update your wardrobe on the cheap without buying ready-made clothing. Whether you’re an expert at sewing or a clothes-making novice, there’s a project for you in this roundup. Here are some ideas for you to get started with!

For Women

  1. Summery Strapless Dress: check out this great tutorial that will help you make a perfect dress for summer on the cheap. All you’ll need is jersey, lycra or elastic chiffon, scissors, a sewing machine, a t-shirt, and an optional accessory.

  2. Fun Party Top: have an old t-shirt that you never wear? Turn it into a fun top that you can wear when you hit the town.

  3. Draped Shirt or Dress:The draped shirt is definitely “in” right now. It’s featured in lots of stores at the moment (among them, H&M and BCBG). However, instead of paying $50 for yours, you can actually make it easily for as low as $5. YourKloset shows you how to do this project with easy patterns and chiffon, jersey, or any other material that drapes well.

  4. One Shoulder Dress in 2 Minutes: this project couldn’t be easier. Take a look at GiannyL at work:

  5. Denim Cut Off Shorts: do you have jeans that are fraying at the bottom? Rather than donate them to Goodwill just yet, try making your own shorts out of the jeans. It’s simple!

  6. Summery Skirt: make your own skirt that you can mix and match with your summer tops.

  7. Easy DIY Bathing Suit Cover Up: grab a big old t-shirt that you never wear and make it into a fabulous cover up that’s great for the beach or the pool.


For Men

  1. Jean Shorts: men can make their own shorts out of old jeans too! Check out this easy-to-follow tutorial.

  2. Board Shorts and Swim Suits: do you have an old suit that you haven’t worn in forever? If you take the bottoms to your old suit and a tie, you can easily make your own board shorts that’ll look great on the beach.

  3. Men’s Refashioned Tee: if you’re bored with the same old t-shirts in your wardrobe, you can use this tutorial as inspiration for making something a bit more fun to wear.
