Dyaraan! What do you think of my new DIY Filipino Muslim costume?
Oh yes.. we have a little problem with color. Everything should be in pink. Haha!
These are all the materials I used for this DIY project.
-long-sleeved leotard
-fabric for the body wrap
-pearl necklace and bracelet
-hairpins
-thread & needle for sewing
To come up with the body wrap, just measure enough fabric that could cover your little girl, not too tight and not too loose, and the length should start from her shoulders to her ankles. Sew the sides, creating a small malong out of the fabric and you're done.
Let your daughter wear the leotard first, then the malong by tying it on her right shoulder. She can use the pearl bracelet as it is, but the pearl necklace as a headpiece. Just secure the necklace with pins in order not to fall off.
There you go mommies. Tune in for more DIY projects to come.

ReplyDeleteSuper simple lang sis! Don't know if Meg will have their Buwan ng Wika celebration. But may stock pa ko ng costume from the previous year, alter na lang siguro ulit. =) Meg has pink leotard din, pwede ko to try.
ReplyDeleteLovely DIY costume sis. Very creative. Ikaw na talaga! :)
ReplyDeleteGirls would love to wear your pink DIY Muslim costume because of its color, and it looks good on your daughter, too!
ReplyDeleteAng galing ng DIY costume mo.. Every little princess can get away with pink.
ReplyDeleteNice! Your daughter is so pretty! I'm making my son wear a barong this year for Buwan ng Wika in school. The past two years, he's been a Katipunero, the easiest costume to DIY for boys hehe! But since I had to buy him a barong for a ring bearer stint, might as well make him use it para masulit. :)

Cute girl and I love that you used pink instead of the usual brown malong. :D
