I just did this...quickie DIY

If you have lots of big scarves you aren't using..........you make a quickie vests out of them. The link is to the how-to video.

I'm afraid a piece of fabric wouldn't last long with those unreinforced slits in the fabric. I cringed when I saw it. It would ruin a scarf, although even a big scarf is not big enough for this project.

How are you going to clean this with the untreated edges? It won't take much movement until fraying starts.

Might be great for a night out, but after that, its going to ravel or fray. It must have seams sewn down around the armholes, then it wouldn't look good as a scarf if they show. Back to the drawing board to finesse it better.

Re: I just did this...quickie DIY

I had a large blue scarf and I did this last night, it will be cute to add to a plain outfit. I like vests....{#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

I think that is a clever idea. Very simple. You could do this w/ 60"" of any material...like a jersey or thin terry and it might night fray.
