ere’s a modern twist
on a popular classic.
These fun and stylish
ponchos started out as regular
throws, and the transformation
takes no time at all. This is one
super-easy sewing idea, so give
it a whirl —
you’ll love being
draped in warm softness.

If you don’t have a throw or two
tucked away in your cupboard at
home, you can easily pick one up
from homeware, department and
gift stores. Try to find a colour
that goes with as many items in
your wardrobe as possible, or
pick up a couple so you have
choice. As long as the throw
well, you’re onto a winner. A
pure-wool throw feels heavenly,
but a less expensive polar fleece
can look just as effective.
The ponchos are incredibly
versatile, so check out these ideas
for inspiration. A snip here, a stitch
there and you’ll have a fave new
piece for keeping out winter’s chill.
Fling the poncho over your shoulder
for an effortlessly stylish look.
