Make a Great Skirt from two large Scarves!

I was blessed to have been given two beautiful scarves, which are very large. In considering what I might do with them, I came up with this uncomplicated way to use them in making a skirt!

They are related in print but different shades of color, but compatible.

• Measure from your waist to the length you would like the skirt to fall. Even though I measured, mine is still a little long. No problem: I just gather it a little at my waist.
• Lay them out on a table, with the wrong side up, overlapped, so that the total length is what you measured for the length of your skirt.
• Pin it all the way across.
• Hold it carefully, ‘cuz the pins are likely to come out in transit to your machine.
• Sew a straight line where you pinned, pulling out the pins as you sew.

• Fold the combined scarves and pin about a 12-inch seam up the outer edge from the bottom. This step is optional: It depends on how much leg you want to show. I preferred to have the skirt closed on the bottom.
• Also optional: I sewed a short gather into the bottom of the top scarf near the top of my leg, simply to draw it up a bit for an uneven swag…just for decoration purposes.
• Now, step into it. Gather in your hands the top corners and tie a knot snuggly against your waist.

Voila!
