Scarf Shirt!

The Most comfortable, easiest shirt in the world! Lately, I’ve been making dresses. I only have one pair of tights with out a run in them, and they are an obnoxious yellow. I love my brown baggy boat neck shirt, but it had a little accident with a flaming lantern in New Orleans and has been retired. What to do? Make a new shirt, so that I can wear jeans! This seriously took about 5 minutes, and is a great way to use old silk scarves.
What you need:
· 5 minutes
· two silk scarves that are the same size (they could be whatever fabric you want I guess)
· Sewing machine
· Two pins
· Matching thread

Step one: Iron the scarves. We all know I hate ironing, so this is the only time these scarves will ever be touched by one.
Step two: Turn on Pandora, and drink some coffee
Step three: Figure out which sides of the scarves are the “right side”. My scarf had a “Anne Klein” signature on it, so that was helpful. You might just decide which side you like better. Put right sides together and pin at the two “top” corners. Sew from the edge of the fabric in about 8inches. Make sure to reverse stitch so that the seam doesn’t start to unravel.

Step four: determine how big of an arm opening you want. I made mine about 10 inches. So, measure 10 inches down from the top of the shirt and then begin to stitch from there until the bottom of the scarf, remember to reverse stitch!
Step five: Try this baby on and think about how awesome it is that you just spent more time writing or reading a blog about making the shirt than the amount of time it took to actually create it!
