Part II: DIY: Dress, Skirt, Scarf, and Poncho from a Maxi Dress

TO MAKE THE INFINITY SCARF/PONCHO/MINI SKIRT

To make the scarf/skirt/poncho,
 you will only need an elastic and a safety pin





and the scrapped left-over fabric from a maxi dress
(see previous post)
use a sharp pair of scissors to make a tiny slit at the hem
Make a tiny slit at the bottom hem of the scrapped fabric, just enough for your safety pin to get through. Pin one end of the elastic securely to the safety pin. Make sure to measure just enough elastic to fit your waist snugly, or around your shoulders. Next, thread the elastic through the hole, pushing the safety pin into the hem. Knot together the elastic once it gets through around the hem. Re-sew shut the slit or hole at the hem.
