Summer Cape DIY
From the Blogger: "Using one of your scarfs or maybe a half meter of fabric, you can create a lovely summer cape with this simple and quick sewing project. It’s perfect for those chilly nights out or you can use it as a beach coverup too. Use your imagination to find other ways to wrap and wear the cape for a more unique look. This piece will definitely be the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. And with thicker fabric, it could work out as a comfy fall cape too."

Materials List
- Scarf (160×70 cm)
- Needle&Thread
- Pins
- Scissors
- Iron
Instructions:
-
Lay out the scarf flat.
-
Measure the length of scarf and then choose your favorite way for making the pleats. I just made them approximately similar to each other using pins. They don’t have to be perfect, just some plain pleats.
-
After you’re finished with the pleats, sew by hand or use a sewing machine. I started by hand. You can finish this with sewing a ribbon all along the edge or adding a band if you want. So if your scarf doesn’t have fringes, adding the ribbon would be the perfect way to tie the two pieces of scarf together.
