Years ago I was gifted some old saris to make into costume pieces and recycle the silk and satin. Here’s a men’s tunic that I finally finished after years on hold, stashed away since before we moved into the house.
Patterned by me in my favorite shapes: rectangles. I used the decorative edge of the sari for the sleeve cuffs and finished the edges with a simple surge-and-roll hem. The seams are French because I started this project before I bought a serger! A slight gather on the back seam ads a little interest to the drape.
