The first scarf I made was an infinity scarf that I've been wanting to try for a while. I followed the super easy tutorial at H is for Handmade and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Can you believe I scored this awesome fabric at a thrift store for $3 last week. It was 1 7/8 yards long and 60 inches wide so I actually had enough fabric to make three scarves (which I did once I realized just how easy it was).
The second (or fourth, depending on if you count the two additional infinity scarves) scarf I made was a ruffle t-shirt scarf. Even if you don't sew, you can make this scarf. I bought a 4X t-shirt at Wal-Mart (because it was only $2 more than an XL and had lots more fabric :) and ended up with enough material to make two scarves. You can find the tutorial over at Tidy Mom. I really suggest you check it out, it was THAT easy! I will definitely be making more of these!
The only thing I did differently than the tutorial was that I sewed across all the pieces in the back to keep them together, but you don't have to.
And there you have it. For less than $10 and in less than an hour and a half, I have five awesome new scarves. Well, I have two new scarves and three friends have a surprise headed their way.
Three friends?! *cough cough* Sure do love those scarves...LOL
ReplyDeleteI have a tee for the scarf, but I'm waiting until you decide to scarf again, so I have expert pointers...hee hee
