Ha! My children think I need to join Youtube Anonymous because I'm addicted. Well, I managed to stay off for about two weeks. But Saturday, I found this new convertible piece of clothing. You can view it here: YouTube - Magical Scarf Instructions 26 ways (obviously, I'm still learning how to embed, so pardon this one.)
I love convertible clothing - clothing that can be used more than one way. My current favorite piece is the origami shirt, which I'll write more about at a later date. This magical scarf though is quite clever. It is a simple rectangle, probably 54" x 22", hemmed along the edges, made of knit. It has five buttons - four along one edge and one on the opposite corner. I haven't quite figured out how far apart the buttons are yet, but I will. Look at all the different ways you can wear this simple piece of fabric.
The other nice feature of convertible clothing is that they are usually simple shapes, thus easy to sew or construct. Some don't even have zippers or other closures.
This is definitely something I'll be writing about a lot in the future.
