Tutorial for making a neck scarf in minutes
Enjoy sewing at home!
A simple scarf can go a long way. You can tie it around your neck making your outfit totally cute, tie it on your purse, or even tie it in your hair for a headband!
What you need: 2 1/2 yards (45″ wide) chiffon fabric (makes 2 scarfs), thread, and scissors.
(I got my fabric for $1.50 a yard at Wal-Mart.. that’s less then $2 a scarf!)
Cut your fabric down the center lengthwise so you have two pieces that measure about 22 1/2-inches wide by 2 1/2 yards long. TIP: It’s easiest to fold your fabric in-half lengthwise and cut on the fold.
Hem the short ends of your fabric first with a 1/4-inch hem.
Next hem the long ends of your fabric – remember to back-stitch where you start and end.
Ta da! Now you have a simple scarf that can change the way you look! So cute, so girlie!
I raided my mom’s closet while I was in Utah and found a lovely scarf to wear to a Christmas Party. When I asked her where she got it she said she made it.. of course! Thanks mom for doing this first and figuring out the right length.. love you!
