6 DIY Fashion Projects for Scarves by Stacie of Scarves Dot Net

April 26, 2012 By Chie

Hello everyone! I’m Stacie, a DIY fashion blogger over at Stars for Streetlights, and I am so excited to be posting for Chie today while she is away! I have always loved making things and sewing ever since I was a little girl– and things haven’t changed much now that I’m older. One of my favorite things to refashion has to be scarves.

During the day, I am a writer, blogger, and photographer over at Scarves Dot Net, and it is pretty much the best job ever. (Seriously, I get to think about scarves all day!) I’m always looking for new ways to tie, sew, craft, and wear scarves– and because the’yre essentially giant pieces of pretty fabric. 😉 Here are a few of my favorite DIY projects for scarves. 🙂

 

DIY scarf belt DIY Scarf Belt: Skinny scarves make wonderful belts if you have any sitting around. To make this DIY accessory, I used this leopard print scarf, but you can use any print to spice up an outfit. (I am a big fan of chevrons right now.) 🙂
scarf camera strap DIY Scarf Camera Strap: I’m a huge photography nerd but I can never find a cute camera strap. (Does anyone else have that problem?!) Silk is one on of the strongest fibers in the world, so I decided to make a camera strap from a silk scarf. 🙂
scarf purse DIY Scarf Bag: Need a quick bag on the go? Try making one out of a scarf! Aimee from Swellmayde uses a cute trick she found on a Hermes knotting card to make a chic and functional purse from a scarf.
quote scarf DIY Quote Scarf:Have a favorite quote that you’d like to carry with you all the time? Try writing it out on a scarf! My friend Maggie, wrote out her favorite Andy Warhol quotes on this scarf. (She had about 6 of them. She even tried to write in Andy Warhol’s handwriting!) 🙂
Scarf Purse Strap: Have a broken or purse strap? Try using a scarf instead! This simple fix can give an old bag a longer life. 🙂
scarf flats DIY Scarf Shirt: To make a simple and flowy scarf shirt, just gather two square scarves and stitch them together!

If anyone has more DIY scarf ideas or any fresh scarf-tying tutorials, be sure to head over and check out our Scarves Dot Net “Submit” page! We’d love to feature any new approaches to scarves. And if you’re ever looking for ways to tie a scarf, be sure to check out our “Knot Library” with tons of ideas!

I just want to say thank you again to Chie for letting me guest post today, it has been an honor! 😉

Weekend.

April 23, 2012 By Chie

From top: 1. French toast Saturday breakfast by Andy, 2. Kiko loves reading books, 3 & 4. Tokyo Midtown in Roppongi. New ring objects were lighted up there. 5. I got a ton of fabrics this weekend! It was more than I could carry in a train, I had to have them shipped from Nippori. This time I got many solid colors and sheer fabrics, and some plaid for the upcoming projects. 6. Reading Nikon D5000 manual intently… good luck Kiko. 7. Toys. 8. Went to a wedding this weekend. It was a lot of fun!

シルクの調湿性は最高の味方です。

We’re officially in that ""three days cold, four days warm"" cycle🌸 A light layer like this is a total lifesaver right now🧥✨

The best part? It’s silk. With these crazy temperature swings, silk’s natural breathability is basically a superpower—keeping you cool when the sun’s out and cozy when the breeze hits.

Stay comfortable, stay cute🤍

ずっと続けている着物リメイクですが、最近はオーガンジーなど他の生地をミックスするのがマイブーム。 「着物ってこんなに自由でいいんだ!」という驚きと可能性を、一着一着に詰め込んでいます。

Paint the world lookbook film 🎥 

While kimono upcycling has been my journey for a long time, I’ve recently been obsessed with blending traditional fabrics with other textures like organza. I’m exploring the idea that kimono can be more fluid and free, bringing that sense of possibility into each design.

In designing these pieces, my focus was on translating the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese textiles into contemporary, wearable styles.

• The Obi wrap skirt, reimagined for the modern wardrobe.
