Wrap yourself in elegance with a dramatic feathered shawl. Follow these easy directions, and see how simple it is to be chic.
You will need:
- 2 1/8 yds. of wide organza, 45″ wide
- 5 feather boas, each 2 yds. long
- Coordinating thread
1. Cut two pieces of organza 21″ wide X 73″ long.
2. With right sides together, stitch shawl sections together with a ½” seam allowance, leaving a 5″ opening along one long edge.
3. Turn right side out. Stitch opening closed.
4. Mark and sew four lengthwise rows of stitching 4″ apart. Topstitch ¼’ around the outer edge.
5. Center one boa between each row of stitching. Whipstitch each piece in place catching only one layer of the shawl.

Thank you so much for posting this. It took forever to find, but I’m glad I’ve found it. I was looking for a way to sew one for myself since I don’t think I would ever pay $200.00+ for one of these. Above my site is on hiatus…so don’t bother. It’s a hot mess right now.
