“What You Make of It” “The World’s Second-Easiest Skirt
The easiest, of course, is the sarong – just wrap, tie and you’re done. But this one is pretty easy.
Start with two square vintage scarves that look good together
(they don’t have to match). Make sure they’re big enough to overlap
and cover you adequately. The ones I used were 34" square and 30"
square. You’ll also need four sets of snaps.
Start by sewing one half of each set of snaps to the two
top corners of each scarf. Then, hold the scarves up against you to
decide where to put the other half of each snap (an extra set of hands
is quite helpful here, but I did it by myself using pins and elbows).
Sew on the second half of all four snaps, put the skirt together and you’re done!
Not only is this skirt cool and easy to make, it also takes up next to no space in a suitcase!
