Nightgown to Scarf Refashion

This is my first refashion ever! I am happy to join the bandwagon! I had a nightgown that I received as a wedding gift years ago. It was very comfortable, but not a particularly good pattern for such an item. So, I decided to give it a better life! As a scarf, it is an excellent pattern!

This project was a lot of trial and error and a lot of lessons learned. Typically with an infinity scarf you are working with lengths of 60” fabric. I had very few large pieces of fabric to work with so I had to do a bit of patchwork. Instead of creating a traditional infinity scarf with one large loop that is wrapped around the neck several times, I decided to make one short loop that was extra wide to give a similar bunching affect. I chose an off white satin material for the back.

Here is a great tutorial for creating infinity scarves.
