DIY Tutorial: Wang Spring 09




(another DIY version on a tank, zara pants, kenneth cole booties, jcrew bikini top)





I'd never thought i'd get such a big response for my diy a.wang sweater. Thanks for all who commented and subscribed to my blog. Well, here's my long, overdue diy tutorial for you guys. This project is not that difficult but i'll try to break it down and make it as simple as possible.


  • sweater
  • sheer fabric
  • scissors
  • thread
  • needle





 Cut out the desired patterns in the sweater.


Flip the sweater inside out. (it's best to lay it on a flat surface)






Cut out a piece of sheer fabric that's large enough to cover the first pattern that you will be working on.



Sew the sheer fabric onto the pattern with a simple stitch.
(the fabric of along the edges will slightly unravel which will create a neat effect)


Cut around the border of the pattern to remove excess sheer fabric.
Repeat step 3-4 with the other patterns.
Flip the sweater back out and show off your faux alexander wang.




Be sure to link me for this DIY and good luck!

  79. GENIUS. I wanna try this on my tank, but is there anyway that you can sew on the sheer fabric without making it show on the outside?(stitches I mean). If not, then that's fine, it's just that I can't see if the stitches are shown in the picture. (:

    ReplyDelete

  80. i've been considering throwing out old sweaters i never wear, but i'm definitely going to try this. i'll be sure to mention you as a source when i post on my blog!

    Great Idea,
