How to move the sidebar in TwentyFifteen to the right?

by

Is it possible to move the sidebar in the TwentyFifteen theme to the right using a child theme and CSS only, or does it require changes to the theme itself? The main issue I’m running into is that I can get the sidebar on the right side in either the “default” or the “scrolled” scenario, but not in both (default uses position: relative and is what you get when the page loads, scrolled is set when the page is scrolled and changes the sidebar position to absolute.)

I took the following from the rtl.css and applied them via Magic Widget with additional !important keywords to an English site:

body:before {
    right: 0 !important;
    left: auto !important;
}
.sidebar {
    float: right !important;
    margin-right: auto !important;
    margin-left: -100% !important;
}
.site-content {
    float: right !important;
    margin-right: 29.4118% !important;
    margin-left: auto !important;
}
.site-footer {
    float: right !important;
    margin: 0 35.2941% 0 0 !important;
}

This seems to work, even when you scroll down.
