Scrappy Skinny Scarf



I have a tub filled to the rim with scraps. They are to big to throw away and yet to small to make something on their own.  I save them because I know I'll find a use for them. I use them for appliques mostly.  I have challenged myself  to get creative and use up some of those scraps. When I was looking through the tub I found a few fabrics that had the same color schemes so I got them out. I grabbed a couple other fabrics with some bright colors and got to work.

 Cut the fabrics into strips 2.5" wide and various lengths.

Sew all the pieces together. No certain order I just grabbed and sewed.

Iron all the seams in the same direction.

Cut a strip of fabric 2.5" wide and the length of the other (scrappy) piece that you sewed together.

Put right sides together and sew. Leave an opening for turning.

Iron. Make sure to tuck in the raw edges from the opening.

Top stitch 1/8" from edge. That will stitch the opening from turning closed.

 I liked the scarf I made Aiyanna so much I decided to make myself one.

 

I made mine 3.5" wide instead of 2.5"
