Christmas and the onslaught of the January sales have probably left you a bit out of pocket so to save some pennies how about turning something old into something new? Second Runway is an eco-friendly fashion show in Minnesota where they're doing just that and making it look rather fabulous as they do.

In the Second Runway video Lisa Venne takes a square scarf she's hunted down in a Goodwill shop and turns it into a skirt with minimal sewing up. She takes you through the whole process of cutting, folding, sewing and adding elastic in eight minutes turning scarf to skirt.
