Who wouldn’t adore the gift of a cozy, handmade scarf this holiday season? This is an inexpensive and fun sewing project that can be done in an afternoon, leaving you with three happy, handmade gifts- just like that! Don’t let the math scare you away… it really is a simple {precise} tutorial, made up of lots of straight lines, and appropriate even for beginners.
You’ll need:
•self-healing mat
•large ruler/straight-edge
•rotary cutter (fresh blade!)
•pins
•sewing machine
•scissors
•thread
•fabric
•trim
•steam iron
•{6} half-yard cuts in different patterns to make 3 scarves. The busier, the better! For this particular method, I think it looks so much better to mix and match funky, bright patterns, rather than using anything close to solid.
•{1} yard of pom-pom trim. (This is a great resource for trims.)
