My sewing group had heaps of fabric donated and amongst it I found a panel that was four square scarves. I wanted to make a skirt from them, but it would have been very short so I came up with this.

I hemmed each scarf on two sides and then joined them together. I cut off the top corners to fit across the T-shirt. (I'd shortened that a bit.) Stitched the shirt to the top and I now have a dress.
It was very difficult to photograph! The right hand side will give an idea of how it hangs and the left side an idea of the construction.

In the 1960's this would have been called a handkerchief hem.

Very Chic and very clever. I bet it looks great on with the flowing scarves. Great idea you've had.

Would look good at a mike! Folk-singer-ish.

Dress looks great. If you find it to short wear tights with it.
Thank you for sharing Happy Stitching!!!!
