I think there is at least a week or two left for ankles to be on display…? Here's a Fashion Fix for the brave: Silk scarf pumps.

You will need:

• silk scarf
• fabric scissors
• sewing machine
• hand leather needle and matching thread

How to do it:

1. cut the silk scarf into four rectangles 25 x 12 cm
2. fold right sides togther and pin along the long edge
3. machine a running stitch along the long edge, turn inside out and press
4. press and fold in one end of each rectangle on a diagonal, machine a running stitch along the edge
5. place the raw end of one rectangle along the outside of the pump by the sole, hand sew in place with a leather needle.

Cloth Issue 19 hit the shops a few weeks back and as usual, you can find some brilliant projects from Ros and myself inside.

Highlights include, this incredible plastic spoon necklace; a wrap bikini top, pimping four pairs of pumps, silk scarf top and our usual fashion fixes.
