Cotton Scarves are not only used as a mere fashion accessory that are tied around the waist or tossed around the neck. Yes they are popularly seen today hanging on the shoulders and necks of the numerous artists and celebrities but there is more use of cotton scarves than being an ornament.

With a single cotton scarf, one can already produce a blouse or a skirt. With just tying knots and wrapping the scarf in proper ways, a blouse or a skirt made from a cotton scarf can be a fashionable item of clothing already that anyone can use in appropriate occasions. A cotton scarf is the best type of scarf to utilize in making a top or a skirt because unlike some silk scarves and chiffon scarves, they are not see-through. In addition, cotton is a good and comfortable type of fabric for a top or a skirt.

To create a skirt from a cotton scarf, follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the large cotton scarf and spread it widely. The size of the cotton scarf needed may vary according to the wearer’s body size and shape.

2. Form a triangle shape from the scarf by folding it in a diagonal way.

3. If the scarf has a patterned designed, fold one more the folded edge of the triangular scarf following the scarf’s pattern design. A belt-like appearance will be created after making the fold.

4. Place the folded cotton scarf around the waist. Wrap it around the waist gently to know if the length is adequate enough to make sure proper covering of the bottom part of the body is made.

5. Knot the ends of the cotton scarf securely. Making two knots may be enough to secure it.

6. After making a knot, there may still be an open space that is too wide from the created skirt. To cover the space, fold the remaining ends of the scarf in and place them under the knot to hang over the open space, covering the area.

7. Position the skirt according to one’s desire. Often, the part of the scarf with the knot is on the side of the body which creates a flattering look. Sliding the skirt in any other position can also be done according to what the wearer wants.

This skirt created from a large cotton scarf is sarong type and can be used when out on the beach or a pool. The cotton scarf skirt looks pleasing and flattering with a nice bathing suit when out on the beach. The cotton fabric gives a nice feeling and texture for the skin. The wind from the sea breeze makes the cotton fabric more soothing and smooth to feel.

Cotton scarves are truly flexible fashion items that anyone can make use of in many occasions. Aside from skirts, a cotton scarf can also be used as a headwear, a ponytail, and belt. A halter top blouse can also be created from a single but large enough cotton scarf.
