Scrappy Hair Scarf Tutorial

I posted yesterday about our Easter Skirts and the matching scarfs I made.



I totally pieced our scarfs together.  I had scraps and made the most of them.  For each I used 3 pieces of fabric 4 " wide. You can make it wider if you have more material.

The middle piece was the longest and approx. 12-13" (mine was on the longer side) and the 2 side pieces were about 10-11"
 (apologies ahead for the lack of any great pictures as I still have camera issues and have to rely on my ipod)

Just pin the pieces together to make 1 long strip ( or if you have a long enough scrap that works too!) and sew together.

Next fold in half length wise with right sides together.  Pin.  Slant your ends by cutting at an angle.

Sew the length and 1 end but leave the other end open for turning.  Turn right side out.  Fold in the edges on your open end and sew shut.
