scarfie love:
Like me, many of you probably have hoards of vintage scarves buried away in your closet. If not, they are super cheap and easy to find at your favorite vintage store/thrift shop/flea market.
This is a great way to put them to new use! you'll need:
- 2 silk scarves
- straight pins, sewing machine, thread
- 4 grommets
- approximately 20-22" chain (use old thrift store jewelry!)
-jewelry pliers to manipulate chain
begin by pinning the two together...... to create an hourglass shape down the middle, please note you want to keep this shape a little over-sized (in relation to your body). this is a no-zip dress, so you must make sure it can slip on & off easily.
sew the scarves together along the lines you marked with straight pins . a sewing machine is preferred for this step, but if you don't have one, it could certainly be done by hand.
next, mark on both sides of the dress (either with thread or tailor's chalk) where your straps will go. plan on placing them approximately 10" apart: you can either hand-stitch your chain straps directly to these points, or install grommets to loop them through.
using either your grommets or a needle & thread, attach 2 chain straps (it's up to you whether these match or not).

Wala! Simple as that, give it a try
