Turning a Bra into a Bikini Top

After finding a sensational sewing tutorial on pinterest by Tasha Delrae; how to turn a old bra into a bathing top, my excitement and curiosity got the better of me.

Following Tasha's picture tutorial, here is my version:



I had the perfect bra to choose for this project; an unworn bra that's been sitting in my drawer for about three years, in the hope that one day I'd find its missing strap.

As with Tasha's bikini top, I also chose to go with a halter strap around my neck too.  It is not absolutely necessary, but I do find suits me better than strapless.

    Very nice. I love the fabric you chose.
    The only bad thing is I kept thinking of this when I was going through my bathing suits and sports bra's yesterday. Instead of getting rid of a suit that I hate how the top fits, Its not on my refashion with a bra list! (and I had to keep other rejects for the fabric.)
    I can't get rid of anything.
