Monday [DIY] Style: Infinity Scarf Tutorial

Via Come on, Ilene!

If you can cut up old T's to make cute new tops and create your own brooches, why not start making your own scarves? Instead of spending $30+ for that lush infinity scarf, why not pay the same price for a bundle of fabric and make them yourself? I've found this nifty DIY Infinity Scarf tutorial via Come on, Ilene! and thought I'd share it with you guys. 

Come on, Ilene! Infinity Scarf Directions:

• Once you cut out the fabric into a rectangle,  fold the scarf in half so that the top edge is aligned with the bottom edge, right sides together. Pin together well. Since knit is pretty stretchy, its important to pin the layers together so that it doesn’t stretch or move when you are sewing it. Then sew the edges together with about a 1/4″ seam.

• You can leave the edges raw because they won’t fray. They may even curl up and hide the seam. The American Apparel circle scarf is woven to be seamless but the seam doesn’t bother me. Just adjust the scarf when you are wearing it so that the seam is at the back of your neck. If you are using striped fabric, make sure to align the fabric so that the stripes line up.

Ilene also lets us know that guys can wear infinity scarves to. I've never actually seen too many guys wearing the infinity scarf. Who knows, maybe they can pull it off.
