Happy Easter, dear Hivers, I hope you are all enjoying the easter break, phew! Can't believe I've been away from Hive in the past 48 hours, my offline job got all parts of me without leaving any space for Hive, 48 hours away seems like 48 days for me which proves how much I've gotten so addicted to the blockchain, because it's my safe space from so many things, and writing here sort of helps me liberate myself, of course, that's what decentralization is all about.

It's another amazing creative Sunday edition and I sure have an interesting project to share with you today, I don't know how the weather is in whichever country you are in right now, but over here in Nigeria it has been hellish hot, making full clothing undesirable and uncomfortable this period, to make it worst, I realized that most of my breathable and lightweight clothing has been dashed out, leaving me with more thicker clothing, even for indoors.

The power supply situation in my country is nothing exciting to write about either, as we hardly have a stable supply of electricity, so to help myself during this hot period or heat wave, I would make lots of breathable and comfortable clothing to feel more relaxed as we pass through the summer, today, I made a singlet, luckily for me, I had leftover fabric from a previous jumpsuit I had made earlier, what I like about making singlet or a blouse with straps is that it is very easy to make and doesn't take much time, also not too much materials are needed to make a singlet, depending on your size too.

Without further ado, let us get right into the making process.

The materials used are leftover crepe fabric and thread.

Cutting And Sewing Process

I started by drafting the blouse pattern using a basic off-the-shoulder blouse pattern. I deducted about 6 inches from the shoulder to chest line, which would be replaced by the straps later

I cut out the drafted pattern, taking my bust, waist, and hip measurements.

I also cut out strips in bias, also referred to as diagonally
Using the cut-out strips, I piped the chest area

Next, I joined the front and back by the sides, note that both front and back are cut the same.

Moving on, I hemmed the base of the blouse neatly

And finally, I used the strips to pipe the armhole area and also extended it to form the straps, and here is the beautiful final result.

I will sure survive this heat period with this strap blouse, and I will be making more as well, I hope you have learned something new from today's post on how to make a singlet or a blouse with straps, also found this post easy to follow, in case of further explanation needed, don't shy from dropping a comment and I will sure explain more.
