Sewing Tutorial: Convertible swimsuit straps

Sophie from Cirque Du Bebe shows how you can have it all – at least when it comes to your bathing suit. Her DIY convertible swimsuit straps attach to the suit with inconspicuous hooks. When you want your suit to have straps, perhaps if you’re planning on doing some actual swimming in the suit, then you can add the straps. When you’re going to be less active, you can remove the straps for a fashionable strapless suit. Go to Cirque Du Bebe for the tute.
