Spring time is right around the corner and yes friends, you read it correctly, I made this shirt for $6 on the dime.
My creativity was sparked one day while perusing Pinterest as I had a grand idea on how to put to use beautiful old silk scarves into something new and fresh. Out of that original idea came this creation...
Now that you've seen it, want to learn how to make one? I sure hope so because they are incredibly easy, inexpensive, and take about five minutes to sew one up. So here we go.
Materials Needed:
- Two scarves of the same size that coordinate (hold them up to yourself for sizing)
- Thread, scissors, pins, the usual
- Sewing Machine
2. Line them up together so that the right (good) sides are facing in.
3. Pin them together where the X's are...the top is meant for the head and has a boat neckline so leave extra room and measure out the space needed for your arms and make it equal on each side.

5. Pat yourself on the back, you've made yourself a super cute inexpensive shirt :)

such a fun idea! I am terrible at sewing, but feel like I could pull this one off! I love the look of it with a jacket!
ReplyDeleteit is really cute! I never would have thought of something like this. I've been wanting to get into sewing, so this might be a great first project.

Agreed with all of the above. Really fun, with so many possibilities for variety! (Reversible! Longer scarves could be a dress! etc.) Thanks Laura and Betsy! Now if I could just get my hands on a sewing machine...
