| Buy two burnout velvet scarfs form ebay for £12 each, I picked the purple one but there are a range of colours |
 |
| Pin the edges of both the scarfs together length ways and then sew half way, then drape over each shoulder and pin the length you want the arm holes, you basically sew up sections of all the edges |
 |
| Finally sew from the fringing up the edges to create arm holes, and TADA, you have a burnout fringe kimono top |

| Spanish Moss |

| Left, American Gold |
I have wanted a fringed kimono for ages now, but have found it really hard to find them in the UK and the vintage ones from America are often over £100!
When I found you could buy burnout scarfs with fringing on the bottom I couldn’t believe my luck. Sew them together and 5 mins later you have a kimono that has cost just £24 J its very simple to do, if anyone has any questions please leave a comment.
What do you think ?

this is perfect, i've been looking for a kimono for ages as it would the best festival outfit but they're so limited and when you do find one they're ridiculously expensive! this allows me to make a completely unique kimono for a fraction of the price, thankyou so much xoxo
