Before
This pretty infinity scarf was found at the thrift store for a couple of dollars. Any scarf with enough fabric will work for this refashion. I find it easiest to find a scarf in a width that is pleasing for the length of my kimono. It can be longer or shorter, depending upon your taste. Lengthening or shortening a scarf/kimono can be done with trims or additional fabrics, but I found that keeping it simple gave me a nice clean kimono shape.

Since this scarf had only one seam I cut that off and then hemmed the edges, which then became the center front.

Next I cut the arm holes. I made mine 10 inches deep. You can cut more or less if you like, but this worked well for me. Next you will fold the right sides together so that the front seams are in the middle and the arm slits are on the sides. Then sew across the top edge to create the shoulders. Finally, hem the arm hole edges.
This project took less than an hour to complete, and I was taking photos!

Voila!
Finished kimono jacket, a very light cover up for warm days.
