Any ideas for what to do with my Sarongs?

I bought several sarongs thinking it would be easy to sew a caftan or a wrap-around dress but I fiddled with them a little and really can't figure out how to construct a garment out of them. I don't want anything fancy, and I will only be wearing them around the house. Showing a little leg wouldn't be a bad thing and the back can be a little exposed if required.

I bought two of each color because I'm a 2X and thought I might need to put two together to get enough fabric - especially for the caftan. Each one has fringe on each short end, but I don't mind cutting that off if need be. I didn't pay much for these sarongs, and because of this they are only printed on one side. Some of them have matching borders on the short end (where the fringe is) and others have one border along the long edge.

Does anyone have any easy-sew ideas for me? I haven't done any sewing in a while, but I feel like I can pick it up again fairly easily.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

Karen
