I'm down to the last section to stitch this shawl into reality. While it was off the longarm, I tried it on as a shawl and it is too wide and too stiff. Even though I used a thin batting, I may need to find a thinner one (if I plan to sew other scarves as shawls). I thought about slicing it into 2 narrow shawls or scarves but I think I will sew it into a jacket instead. Houston can be very cold indoors in the summer with the air conditioning blasting. I often need a little jacket.
I found this heavy cotton sundress at the thrift store I plan to turn into a nice gathered skirt. Together I think they will be just perfect! If not, I'm sure something else will show up.

Do you think washing would soften it? I do love the polka dot bit - just a happy spot! I think it will make a great jacket, too, though, and look nice with that shirt.
