Vintage Sari or Saree offer great opportunities to the creative sewer. However you spell it, Sari is a traditional Indian garment, and it is really flexible! It is simply a very unique garment which covers all, yet reveals all! It is 5-6 Yards Long & 4 feet wide. The sari can be silk or fine cotton or an elegant chiffon material in any color or design. The fabric is just gorgeous - intricate print
s in bold colors and metallic shades. Sari fabric is just as versatile for craft projects as it is as a garment! This is the only garment in feminine apparel which has stayed in fashion for 5000 years. What else can a Sari be used for? However with such a length of wonderful and perhaps highly decorated fabric there are many other things that can be done with it if you don’t want to wear it as a sari. Here are some ideas for using your sari fabric. Clothes: With 12 or more feet of heavily decorated fabric, this will lend itself to being formed into a variety of clothes. A top or skirt, wraps would look great, you might have enough material for a dress. Window Dressings: Again, such a long decorated piece of fabric would make a great curtain. This would really show off the decoration. A light weight sari would make a wonderful replacement for voile. Another alternative would be to make a light weight door curtain – a fantastic replacement for a fly curtain during the summer months! Household Accessories: The sari would work well if used as part of a bed covering. Combined with two pieces of complimentary material, this could make a fantastic bed throw. Or it could be cut into pieces and a large patchwork effect achieved. There is a lot more you can do with these Vintage Saris... So, have fun and let your creativity fly!
