How To Make a Hot Bikini Out of Old T-Shirts

Step 8Creating the Bottom

Creating the Bottom
Take your bottom shirt and cut a rectangle that measures 19 inches by 16 inches. Pin both layers of the rectangle together. Then sketch an hour glass shape onto the fabric. Make a paper pattern first for preciseness. You want the narrowest part of the hourglass to measure 4 inches across and fall 11 inches for the top of the rectangle.
