More Up-cycled Scarfwear!

Hi All,
Here are some pics of my very latest and favorite pieces. Some of these will be in the fashion show but not all of them. I have to keep some for a surprise. Some of these are available for sale on my website: http://dakini.ca.

My favorite design right now - the "Asymmetrical Tunic" - got any better ideas for names?

Dakini's Latest Designs

Hi All,
I haven't posted much for a while because I have been so busy opening my retail store and exploring new ways to use and recycle silk scarves. I find a lot of beautiful scarves but some of them just don't really sell on their own. I decided to take them and up-cycle them into dresses, tops and other clothing! I will also show you how you can turn your own scarves into more functional pieces. It can be very simple and easy to do!

For now here are some photos of some of my latest creations. If you want to learn to make these yourself then follow my blog! I will be posting how-to's soon.
