I’m not very creative when it comes to altering and diy-ing my own clothing. Partially because I’m lacking in skills and resources, partially because I’m lazy. But even I can cut holes in things. Tada!
This vest started out as a large piece of fabric that I reverse tie dyed and wore as a scarf. But then it lost its scarfy appeal so I measured some arm holes, snipped away, and made a waterfall vest.
Here are some other lazy crafting exploits:
- Reverse tie dyeing
- Make a half-shredded jersey necklace
- Anthropologie necklace knock-off

I got stuck…
Be sure to check out the plethora of craftiness over at Everybody, Everwear!
That’s a great DIY! I might even try it sometime, since there is no sewing involved!
A) I love this look. You look GORGEOUS. B) You’re my type of DIYer…
I like that vest! I’ve never dyed anything but I bet I can cut holes in a scarf! I’ll try this soon.
ha- easy (lazy) DIY projects are the best. much more fulfilling, I find, than when I have to spend a long time on something!
I’m loving poking around the links to your other tutorials! The reverse-dying thing is amazing, and I love the shredded scarf/necklace too. (Totally agree about Grace Jones wearing it as a cowl/headscarf/whatever. Awesome!)
That is a fabulous bit of armhole cutting, Missy!
I love the armholes! Those colors are so pretty too!
Wonderful outfit! I love that scarf!
My scarf collection better watch its back now. I’m going to come at it with scissors pretty soon to rival your awesome waterfall vest.
I really like that vest and I think it still has some cute scarfiness to it too. It looks great paired with that dress! Awesome job
That vest is fabulous! If you made that yourself, you’re definitely *super* talented at dying fabric and making things!
