Supplies: one yard of fabric with stretch and drape.
closure
Great for a last minute gift, this shrug can be worn several different ways and takes a few minutes to make. Get some fabric and make it for the whole family.
Read more for the DIY tutorial:
Cut a rectangle of fabric measuring 36 inches wide and 30 inches long.
I hand dyed mine, before it was white jersey. I serged the edges as well. If you use a jersey you can easily leave the edges unfinished. Just tug to get a roll.
Cut the sleeve hole using a collar in the middle on both sides.
Fold length wise in half right sides together. Sew the part where the arrows are placed.
Add a closure in the middle.
This literally can take 5 minutes minus hand dying the fabric. Finishing the edges will add more.
That's a cool idea!!!! Thanks for sharing this. I'll definitely try it ;)

People should say this more but thank you for sharing your genius mind with us. This is going on my diy project list, simply amazing.
ReplyDeleteLove that this only takes 1 yard and is so versatile and easy to make. Posted several finished photos on my blog and a link back to your blog. Also, I always get the name of your blog right :)
ReplyDeleteA really nice idea, but could you explain how you wear it in pictures 1 and 2? Is it just buttoned on the other side, or is it some other kind of wearing? Thank you!
ReplyDeletein picture 1 it's not buttoned, in picture 2 it's buttoned in the back. Once made, you will see how it comes together
DeleteMany thanks, I just finished it in 15mn!
ReplyDeleteI love this kind of project, so fast, easy, and cherry on top, gives you different looks!
The leftover will make a nice headband!
Love it!

I don't understand if its across the top from left to right or along where the arrows are laying?? Sorry may seem totally obvious to most but my eyes are new to this!! Thank you !!

^ agreed with Ashley, don't know where the arrows say to sew!
Deletesew where the arrows are placed.
DeleteI did the same pattern. I have five and I call them bolero, yours is very good
ReplyDeleteHi can you tell me how I would make this shrug longer and more drapey in the back? Would I need to add to both dimensions?
