Infinity Scarves

I made a few infinity scarves a few months ago and just recently two others.  You can make a lot from one yard of fabric.  I really like the first one I made, very springlike and I love the flirty fabric.
I used this free download from Simplicity for some general measurements.  How to Sew an Infinity Scarf
Lavender Pink Infinity Scarf





















This red fiber plaid scarf was made because I had this very small piece of fabric which I loved but it was just too small to make anything to wear from it.  It's a little stiff and the fibers are a little bit delicate but I think it's a great accent piece for the holiday season and one which I will use year after year during the holidays.

Here is a close up so you can see the fibers.


This last one is a pretty floral but I just might take out the joining seam and use it as a regular scarf as it seems just too stiff.  It is pretty though and if I add a pin or something shiny, it will be very dressy.  (pictures coming soon).  Update, I made a set of Wash/Wear bags for my friend GinaMarie.  I think the fabric was much better suited for this project.

Sewing Scarves Tonight

I don't know what has taken me so long to finally sew these up but at long last here they are.

The cream/red/black/red plaid fabric is something I purchased from Emma One Sock and I could not decide if I should cut it in half and make a longer, thinner scarf or cut it in half and add a different fabric to the back. But, in the end I just sewed it up! Now if I could have just done that a year and a half ago, I probably would have been able to wear it through two holiday seasons.  It's nice to know I am ahead of my holiday sewing!


This next scarf is the second (and third) one I've made from from stretch knit I found at Joann's this past winter and my plan then was to sew some up for holiday gifts.  I didn't quite get them done in time for Christmas but one was ready for a Spring gift.  One is going to a friend at work and the other I haven't decided whether to keep or give away.  Maybe my daughter will spy it this summer and take it home with her.  I'll keep you posted!

Cards and Such

I have been creating a lot of different things lately and have not really had time to post so I thought I would start with a heading and upload a few pictures here and there.  I probably will have to upload in reverse order but it's a start.  Finally jumping back in to the blog!
