Refashion A Scarf Into A Tunic

Hi there, welcome back 🌸 I refashioned my old scarf into a cozy tunic and love how it turned out. I planned to do this many months ago and glad I finally did it.  This tunic can be worn as a layer or as it is. It is so comfy and warm, perfect for the cooler weather we are having now.  The material of my scarf is a wool blend in a lovely print. I got it from a friend 15 years ago. The refashioning process was easy and fast, I started with making the neckline. Cut the length and use the leftover fabric for the neckband. I pinned and sewed the neckband to the neckline.

Make a waist layer (a layer that starting from the waist line down to the bottom - I think we can call it peplum) and ma...

Yeah...look like I will have time for all of that:)) Well, talking about this batik top, I am wearing today for the first time ever since I made it.

Material needed for the top: 1,5 yards batik cotton, buttons and lace. I need 6 hours in total to finished this top, including making muslin and ironing.
