DIY Tennis Skirt

DIY Tennis Skirt 

The Tennis skirt trend has been my current obsession, so I decided to make one! I found a piece of cloth that my mom bought at the thrift store a while back and turned it into a Tennis skirt. It took about half a day... Actually a little over.. about 14 hours and 45 minutes. This was spread out in a weeks time. I had a lot of difficulty trying to make it fit my waist so that took up most of the time. Once I got it to work, the rest was easy. 
I got the pattern from Q2HAN. You can check out their Tennis skirt tutorial here.
They do a lot of different tutorials on Youtube, so you guys should definitely go check their channel out! 
Enough of my talking and let's get to the pictures. Here is the outcome of my Tennis skirt:

  • I'm still a beginner sewer so my stitches aren't perfect, but they work.

  • I held the skirt together with a zipper and clasp. I couldn't find any invisible zipper that was the same color as my skirt, so I had to work with a white one. 
































You can tuck in your shirt/sweater or just simply wear it over the skirt. 




This project was one of the harder ones and might prove difficult if your a beginner, like me, but don't let it limit you! Most Tennis skirts being sold are wayyy too expensive anyways. (ex: American Apperal for $54)  I got my skirt for under $5-7. A totaal steal right here.

DIY Joggers

Joggers

I've been wanting a pair of joggers, which I've been looking for since foreverrrr, and I finally found it at my local Salvation Army. I didn't bother to take any before and after pictures because all I did as add elastic to the bottom of my pants and ta-dahhh, you get your own joggers! for $3 ONLY. So awesome right??!! But here is the finished look to my homemade Joggers: 

Bad Photoshop, I know but thats besides the point. 


Try making your own! I really love mine and like I said, its super east to make. Well, with a sewing machine.

DIY Kimono

Kimono 

My mom bought a bunch of fabric a long time ago, but I didn't know what to do with it so it just sat in the closet until this weekend. The weather in California is getting warmer, so I thought why not make a kimono since i've always wanted one!  And, that's exactly what I did. It probably took me about one hour and thirty minutes to make it. Here's the finished look:
