  Step 1

  Find an old t-shirt. (This one I had already cut into a tank top) Cut out a rectangle for the front of the bandeau. It should be as wide as the measurement across your chest.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut out another strip with the same length. You can make this strip thinner if you like; this will form the back of the bandeau. I left the edges raw, but you can hem them if you want a more finished look.

• 

  Step 3

  Cut out two pieces of elastic slightly shorter than the fabric pieces. The elastic, stretched, should measure the same length as the rectangles.

• 

  Step 4

  Pin the elastic onto the back piece.

• 

  Step 5

  Sew the elastic onto the bandeau. This was the first time I used the zigzag stitch on my machine, so that's why it's uneven...

• 

  Step 6

  Sew the two pieces together, making sure it is inside out.

• 

  Step 7

  Trim the sides of the bandeau so the front connects to the back smoothly.

• 

  Step 8

  Cut another piece of elastic; this one will run vertically down the front.

• 

  Step 9

  Sew the elastic down the center to make the gather.
