I LOVE vintage scarves and am always looking for ways to refashion them.
This kimono jacket was a departure from my earlier kimono design in which I stitched scarves together along their seams.
This time I cut a dropped shoulder line into the front and back pieces and I think it gives a better line and drape to the garment.
I trimmed the front edge & neckline with toning satin bias binding. More details on my blog here.
Happy sewing everyone.
Love & stitches, Karen x

Another wonderful creation from a vintage scarf expert. Its so good to find a way of wearing these lovely items. This jacket suits them perfectly, the colour combination is superb.
Looks lovely, great idea!
Very pretty. I love saving old scarves but I never seem to do anything with them. :-)

Thanks for the kind comments, much appreciated K.
I had looked at this on the phone earlier in the week. Today on the big screen it really showed how pretty this is. Lovely.
Great advice on caring for leather jackets with fur! I recently applied these tips to my vintage satin jacket from Maker of Jacket, and it really helped maintain both the leather and the fur. Simple practices like using a soft brush and proper storage make a noticeable difference in keeping the jacket looking new.
