How To Make A DIY Convertible Jumpsuit:
Start out by laying your ITY Fabric out flat on a table. I have been using this particular brand for years. Fold your fabric in half length-wise to cut 2 separate 11″ x 2 yard strips of fabric.
Now, take the 11″ side of one strip and pin it to the outside band of your slacks. If you have any questions, check out the 2 minute video tutorial below!
Pin the other strip to the other side of your slacks the same way. Make sure you are not interfering with any buttons or closures your slacks may have.
Use a standard straight stitch on your sewing machine to attach the strips of your pants and you are done! Th ITY Knit Fabric won’t fray so there is no need to hem any raw edges.
Now wasn’t that easy?
