It is of a woven poly fabric and made of 4 pieces sewn together...four seams, two each on front and back. I will try to get some photos later. The head opening is large and long like a boat neck top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-any-of-you-made-a-diy-poncho#post-1788822 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 19:53:17 +0000 Style Fan 1788822@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't made one.&nbsp; I have searched for ideas on how to make one from a blanket scarf.&nbsp; I have a poncho that I don't wear because it is too big for me.&nbsp; Most ponchos are too big for me.&nbsp; :(&nbsp; I have come to realize that it is all in the shoulders and has nothing to do with height.&nbsp; I am 5'7.5". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-any-of-you-made-a-diy-poncho#post-1788735 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 16:13:38 +0000 Chris987 1788735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THanks Jaileen, I will definitely look at that posting. And Angie that's a great idea too...a large scarf would be a perfect size poncho for me! Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-any-of-you-made-a-diy-poncho#post-1788692 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 14:42:54 +0000 Angie 1788692@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't, but you can wear a big black scarf instead.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-any-of-you-made-a-diy-poncho#post-1788688 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 14:36:57 +0000 JAileen 1788688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made a slip over the head poncho. I was inspired by this thread:</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/please-help-me-with-the-asymmetic-poncho" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....tic-poncho</a></p> <p>I had a shawl that my MIL had woven. I never wore it, until I turned it into a poncho. I left a 15 inch head opening as described in the thread. I pinned it first to see if I liked the general size. It's not my colors, but it works with my colors. The fabric is a cloud soft wool. My MIL has dementia now, so I love wearing something she wove. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/have-any-of-you-made-a-diy-poncho#post-1788666 Fri, 17 Mar 2017 13:07:48 +0000 Chris987 1788666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's blog posting got me thinking about ponchos. I've tried them on but they are usually huge on me. It occurred to me they could be very easy to make with the proper fabric and pattern, and as&nbsp; DIY project I could make it a bit smaller than "normal". .</p> <p>&nbsp;Do any you have an experience making a poncho? What type of fabric&nbsp;did you use?&nbsp;What type of pattern?&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>Thanks!</p>
