How To Make a Top Out of Vintage Silk Scarves

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">How to make a cute and simple top out of two silk vintage scarves</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've been collecting these gorgeous vintage scarves for a while now and really didn't know what to do with the square ones. They are too small to wear around your neck and unless you are going to tie them together and pull them out of your sleeve like a clown they are pretty much useless.  But I decided to experiment and sew two together to make a cute boho chic top. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZRV2GGNFg2J2J_1VdvtR-kdUEwbblKyVFkdqcgnSpHGWBK06Aa8RWVoY-TsYZVOVPHQrKVwE-p9Dmo9HoCvnoblVKn8FI9lhSHN8NXAGoG9K5-LkIvpuEqDzwLZA5iK54fT8C7NRZu-E/s1600/silk+shirt+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="223" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZRV2GGNFg2J2J_1VdvtR-kdUEwbblKyVFkdqcgnSpHGWBK06Aa8RWVoY-TsYZVOVPHQrKVwE-p9Dmo9HoCvnoblVKn8FI9lhSHN8NXAGoG9K5-LkIvpuEqDzwLZA5iK54fT8C7NRZu-E/s320/silk+shirt+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Ironing.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHsK0hdW10WTc7BLQqZWpDyiUHIFCgAhA8085Qpg7U5KpQOG-W_HVXJrGv2SB3nD6ivLYHeu7wV5aRrH3y2L6Jtiy-G6q2djYXpBiuueBN-sgne_vvr51MKpKQEL_5DTzisxRwy9AVOo/s1600/silk+top+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnHsK0hdW10WTc7BLQqZWpDyiUHIFCgAhA8085Qpg7U5KpQOG-W_HVXJrGv2SB3nD6ivLYHeu7wV5aRrH3y2L6Jtiy-G6q2djYXpBiuueBN-sgne_vvr51MKpKQEL_5DTzisxRwy9AVOo/s320/silk+top+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> I have all of my grandmother's vintage thread in just about every color too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZHjIQq20UB2MTOuqdAL8atDTmZFM94wGJ1UNj81rgB8bpZidZeo5fTqb_DkQVT1OLg6pNbTcPoHbjKeWh6AWQbxpE2PFfsEVCmccZ5Zzb-qE0lbZRQ5VdtyBXVwxPB0rQqNsIZ3ZpQc/s1600/silk+top+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieZHjIQq20UB2MTOuqdAL8atDTmZFM94wGJ1UNj81rgB8bpZidZeo5fTqb_DkQVT1OLg6pNbTcPoHbjKeWh6AWQbxpE2PFfsEVCmccZ5Zzb-qE0lbZRQ5VdtyBXVwxPB0rQqNsIZ3ZpQc/s320/silk+top+3.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> Next put the scarves together and pin where the shoulders will be and along the sides.

Busy Weekend

<div align="center">Happy Halloween! What a crazy busy weekend it was. I didn't do a Friday's Favorites because Friday was crazy hectic with breakfast with friends, working on a fashion collaboration, then rushing back for Halloween fun at my kids' school. Saturday we did trick or treating in downtown <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_0" class="blsp-spelling-error">Clawson</span> (so much fun) then downtown <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_1" class="blsp-spelling-error">Ferndale</span> (awesome). I also got some sewing done this weekend and made 5 new scarves by cutting up some really nice cashmere and merino wool sweaters. It was so hard to cut up the one from <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_2" class="blsp-spelling-error">Bergdorfs</span>! The scarves came out really great and have a <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_3" class="blsp-spelling-error">luxe</span> to them that I am very happy with.

Our friend, <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_8" class="blsp-spelling-error">Alvita</span> is a talented stylist with an amazing closet full of vintage treasures as well as one of a kind pieces and high end fashion pieces. Friday we went to her home and she dressed us in these amazing outfits. We are planning on doing our shoot in a warehouse but are working out the details. These photos are just some we snapped in <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_9" class="blsp-spelling-error">Alvita's</span> house. The dress I am wearing is silk and vintage and has all these gorgeous ruffles. The belt works perfectly and I'm wearing a necklace I designed.<br /><br /><br /><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDKTRn-Fv_8-7fdnFdSP0ClPckwEfnb2A_rraty1y9ArLcDtdkqNkANxh0kbqFI5IIA0tceh8mtUD9TKbq4AwuRyS4OZ8o-ZFH6j8IFfod9Vh9QBu3soz7XYOGUO1aNsr7E17No-82asc/s1600/Rose+Outfit.jpg"></a><br /></div><div><a href="http://lilacpopphotography.etsy.com/"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534401285495311490" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEr1p4sEzFUnTTAfUCk7Jn3cMf8idsf9CpsISkpNyLA34m6oIK0AS3mICAxJeC2tec2D0AAi0lq98EtVIIOAjVlw7rv0edNCIrnYbqV6tp2_M6CdeyGto_9L2V8RtGtEIoi_5dU25P4M0/s320/Love+this+one!!.jpg" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" /></a> Rose is wearing a beautiful chiffon dress with white fishnet stockings and cream <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_10" class="blsp-spelling-error">mary</span> <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_11" class="blsp-spelling-error">janes</span>.

She found a Theory black pencil skirt and it fit me like a glove. She put it with a fishnet tank top and layered an 80's style <span id="SPELLING_ERROR_15" class="blsp-spelling-error">punky</span> bustier over it. Then she put a thick and heavy silver necklace that wrapped around a few times on me and hooked it around one of the straps of the bustier. Genius! It offset it and was perfect for the look. I am so excited for this shoot! Hopefully we can get the warehouse figured out and do it soon. <div></div><div align="left">My Links:</div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/lilacpopphotography"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_16" class="blsp-spelling-error">Facebook</span></a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://twitter.com/lilacpop">Twitter</a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://lilacpop.etsy.com/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_17" class="blsp-spelling-error">Etsy</span></a></div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/24546607@N04/"><span id="SPELLING_ERROR_18" class="blsp-spelling-error">Flickr</span></a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>
