There is no need to spend money buying new clothes every year with all the DIY clothing ideas that are circulating. With the help of these tutorials you can turn last year's blue sweater into a new sequined sleeve masterpiece.
If you find yourself needing an outfit for a special party coming up, consider the ‘A pair & A Spare’ sequin shorts. The tutorial shows you how to knit a sheet of fabric sequins into a pair of high-waisted New Years ready bottoms. You’ll end up lighting up the room for a lot less. Within the collection of DIY clothing crafts there is even the possibility of creating your very own clear plastic rain cape.
Save your nickels and dimes by applying some of these nifty DIY clothing ideas to your own wardrobe.
