Wanna learn how to make a super cute and breezy summer top? What if I told you it only cost me about 3.50? And what if I told you it took me about 5 minutes?!
Guys, this shirt is a dream.
I've been wanting to wear it everyday...
but since that isn't socially acceptable, I have not.
It's super light weight and breezy.
Perfect for summer days.
And it's also versatile!
It can be worn many different ways.

Step 1
My studio was way too messy for any good pictures of the process, so I used photoshop.
Step 2
So, here is a representation of my two scarves.
I got the plain one for about 1.50, and the flower one for about 2.00

I got home and washed them on delicate, then hung them to dry.

Be very gentle with the silk scarves. These ones were very old and thin.
Step 3
You then layer the scarves on top of each other, right sides facing in.
Step 4
Basically, sew where you see the dotted lines.
(But probably a bit more even..)
Leave a big enough space for your head, the shirt is meant to be a bit "boat necked."
Also, make sure you leave enough room for your arms, so it's loose and breezy.
Step 5
The shirt will naturally fall over your shoulders like sleeves.
Step 6
The scarf should already be hemmed when you buy it, so...
that's all there is!
4 quick lines on the sewing machine, and you've got a new top!
