3 long scarves, destined to be cut in half, sewn together and threaded with elastic into a sheer skirt to throw over bathers.
Stiched together at random lengths, leaving splits in each seam. Top turned over and 3 rows of stitching aded to make 2 channels for elastic and a fluttery top edge.
Voila! I think I'll loosen the elastic and make it into a skirt for a bigger girl. There's too much gathering at the moment - it looks like I could have used just 5 strips, but that would have thrown the brown-orange-yellow pattern. Anyhow, why should my little mannequin have all the fun. Maybe I'll try it on her big sister, who has a waist circumference of 110cm. She doesn't get out much, this could be her big chance.
