DIY for Environmentalists: Crafting, Making, Project How-to's, and more!
It wouldn’t be summer without at least a few trips to the beach or the pool, right? Instead of hitting the big box store for a mass-produced swimsuit, check out this awesome Threadbanger tutorial on how to turn a men’s shirt into a unique swimsuit. I love the cut of this suit!
You can get more deets on this project, including the anchor pattern, on Threadbanger’s website.

Hello! My name is Bonnie Getchell and overall, I'm a craft nerd! I love making crafts, re-doing furniture, and anything along those lines. I especially love creating items that are from recycled materials like toilet paper rolls, bottles, etc.
I'm the lucky momma of two little blonde daddy-clones--we spend our days doing elaborate art projects, trashing the house, eating cheese cubes and oranges, and waiting for my partner to get home from his day job so we can pester him.

Your video is so well done! Thanks for uploading this easy DIY top. I wear white clothes, it’s hot in Miami, I have a sewing machine, why not!!
Thank you! This is one of the few re-makes that I’m thinking might suit my plus-size body.
On the shirring do you use regular thread on the top and the elastic thread on the bobbin?
