Poof Dress How-To
By threadbangerWant a fashionable way to recycle your used bath poofs? This easy How-To will teach you how to make a dress with your old bath buddies!
To start you will need many bath poofs. You will also need some fabric.
1.Find the string, cut the strong, and unravel the poof.
2.Make measurements around your chest and your waist. Then measure from the top of your chest to the bottom.
3.Finally, measure from the bottom of your chest, to the length that you want the dress to be.
4.Lay out fabric and cut a “pattern” as shown in the picture.
5.Hem the top of your fabric by folding it at ½ inch and then again at 1 inch and then sew.
6.On a form, make some darts with the fabric from the apex to a desired dart amount. If you do not have a form, put the fabric on your body and pin in the back.
7.Mark where the darts should start and end. Sew along this line.
8.After closing the darts, your two pieces of fabric should look like this picture
9.Mark the center of both pieces of fabric and align them.
10.With right sides together, pin both pieces and sew them.
11.Pin the first bath strip to hem of “skirt” piece and sew. Sew with a zig zag stitch. Repeat this method until the dress is covered.
12.Down the center back line you can add a zipper or any closure you prefer.
13. You are done!
