Alicia, there are some really great options on Etsy! Try searching “sari” under the vintage heading…you should get at least a few pages of results. Happy crafting!

In the town where I went to college, there used to be this hippie-style store where they would handcraft a lot of the merchandise (I saw the sewing machine and the fabric pile and thought that would be the most fun place to work!) One of the things they had there were these skirts made from recycled saris– very simple, basically just two rectangles sewn up one side and layered together (one of silk and one of the embroidered sheer) with a casing made from the silk and a drawstring to make it fit. I think I paid about $30-40 for it, and it seemed like a HUGE splurge for a style that I could have easily sewn myself, but the fabric was so gorgeous, and in a color combination I wouldn’t have thought to put together myself, that I couldn’t pass it up. It’s still one of my favorite skirts. Anyway, there’s another idea of what you can do with the saris.
