I wanted to use this lovely cotton that my sis-in-law, Kait (she blogs at yuppielove) gave to me a few months ago. I thought it would make a nice scarf so I backed it with a tweed from an unfinished dress.
Isn’t the pink so pretty? My friend, Stephanie (who has a shop on Etsy) gave me the idea for the scarf though she suggested that I use my Liberty cotton. But I’m hoarding it until I come up with the perfect project.
It is basically a large loop. It’s nice and stiff cotton so it stays where you put it.
What quick projects do you like? Have you sewn a scarf?
I finished with my quick sewing at Christmas time. I made quite a few scarves as gifts. Lots of fun though! Now I am back to sewing MY stuff!
I love it! That colour looks amazing on you! Also, I miss youuuuuuu!
Miss you too!
I love your scarf. I love unexpected linings. I think it is the best thing about sewing to tell you the truth.
I haven’t made a scarf yet…but I’ve made mittens. I made all the boys (in my all boys’ class I should add so you don’t think I left the girls out, there were none) cut out and we sewed mittens for each of them. I did the actual sewing put they decorated them with puffy fabric glue and wore them for a few weeks.. that was a fun quick project.
I hope this comment prints. I been having trouble commenting to your blog for awhile but then i realized if I leave my blogspot details off, wordpress will print my comment.
Thanks for commenting! I have trouble commenting on blogspot blogs. Huh…
Linings are fun! Where you can go a little crazy.
