Turn any scarf into a kimono

If you think about it, a scarf is really just one long piece of fabric, which incidentally, makes it the perfect ingredient for all kinds of sewing experiments.

For this project, we turned our pink scarf into a pretty overcoat to lounge in on lazy afternoons. If you have some floral silk scarves on hand, you can simply follow the same instructions and you’ll get a more kimono-like fashion item.
