Seriously. This is so simple that it may even take you longer to pull out your sewing machine and set up than to actually
make this top! How fabulous is that?! We found this idea
here, and with the hot weather we've been having around here lately we thought now was the perfect time to whip one up!
What You Need:
- 1 large square scarf (or large square of material, hemmed on all sides)
- something to tie around your neck (cord, ribbon, necklace...we used a chain to add some sass!)
Lay your scarf face down on your work surface so that it looks like a diamond. Then fold over the top corner a bit so that you have a flat edge.

Sew across that edge to form a casing (not sure if the photo shows this very well...). You can cut off the extra fabric from the folded corner if you'd like.

Run your cord/ribbon/necklace through your casing and tie it around your neck.

Then tie the corners on the left and right side around your back (if they are not long enough to tie around your back, simply sew on some fabric or ribbon to crate a longer tie).

Ta-da! You now have cute summer halter that took almost no time to make! You can even change out the cord/ribbon/necklace you used to give your top different looks to fit your mood! And it looks great with skirts, pants, or jeans! So go out and enjoy the warm weather in style!
