DIY Turkish Vest (No Sew!) - Thrifty Belly ep2

See Step-by-step instruction with photos on my blog: www.sparklybell...
Want a new costume without spending a lot of money? Thrifty Belly is a series where I take old clothes or thrifted items and turn them into dancewear!
Episode 2 is a popular belly dance costuming item - Turkish vest! It's quite challenging to make a Turkish vest that fits nicely from scratch, but using an old t-shirt, you can make it without sewing!
Great for belly dance, gypsy or renaissance inspired costuming. Complete with the cute lace-up finish :)

I want to go when I’m older

[@ArmyScoutMom]

Very Clever! Wish I had seen this before we made Turkish vests for my troupe. We would definitely use the sewing version.

[@xenonsan3110]

wow this is great for a Ren fest costume! I was thinking of making this, your peasant top, the slitted harem pants, and tribal skirt overlay. do you think this would look good together? you know if color matches well?

[@JensuyaBellyDance]

Best tutorial!

[@DeliaMLavigne]

Thank you for the awesome tutorial! My vest turned out great. Can't wait to make another.

[@blood_rose133]

I was thinking I could use the part of where you fold the fabric to make the middle part would pull the sides to make it fit so then it would be a complete no sew

[@sheallythompson367]

Wow, may try this with my steampunk costume!!

[@elllllllllhhhggyyynn55563]

[@nejupiterr7092]

Hayatımda bunun kadar saçma birşey görmedim biz türkler böyle yelekler mi giyiyormuşuz

[@cadence-home6230]

It's a good costume but if you
don't have patience and don't have any knitting/sewing experience its hard and takes time

[@someonesomewhere3014]

Sure is a lot of sewing for "No Sew."

[@candygirl77777]

KMP HCH she did give options for both. If you don't want to sew, just start with a shirt that is already tight.
