with a little bit of creativity and design sense, you can easily turn them into kurteye for summer or scarfs.
they can also be used to create cushion covers or even small curtain panels.
has anyone done this?

I collect all the duppataye from new unstitched suits as I have no need for them since I wear hijab, and make either tops for myself, outfits for my little niece, or I send them to my SIL in India for her to make tops....
Just this weekend, I went to Blackburn and bought the most gorgeous black and silver suit - but it had a huge duppata as the lady gave me extra as there wasn't much left on the roll......I'm sendding it to SIL in India to make a top.
My husband loves this as he says it saves him money!!!!!

i have made a kurti out of a dupatta also, turned out really good...
anything can be made from old dupattas, frocks for little girls, cusion pillow covers etc...i have planned making lots of other stuff like that several times, but have only actually made that kurti so far due to laziness or whatever busy-ness.
