Tutorial: Infinity Scarf

I love scarves and infinity scarves are my favorite style of all. 

This is a perfect low-maintenance accessory and pairs perfectly with a t-shirt and jeans!
This makes a perfect gift as well. 

Want to know how to make your own?

First, choose a lovely fabric. I suggest using a lightweight cotton, cotton voile, or jersey cotton knit.

You will need 2 yards of fabric, matching thread, pins, tailor's chalk, and your sewing machine. 

Cut two pieces of fabric:

This measurement will make a scarf that can be double-looped.

 Pin your fabric right sides together and make a mark with your tailor's chalk 3 inches from each end on both sides:

Sew the sides of the scarf: begin sewing at this 3-inch mark, and stop sewing at the 3-inch mark on the opposite end. Use the presser foot as your guide. Reinforce your stitches by back-stitching on each end as well.  

 After you have sewn the sides together, you will want to turn the scarf completely inside out.

Take the two inner short ends and pin together, right sides together, as shown.

Sew straight across the short end that has been pinned together, use the presser foot as your guide.

 You will now turn the scarf outside in. Match up the remaining short end as shown. Pin the last short end, right sides together, and sew.

 You will now turn the scarf inside out (for the final time I promise) through one of the openings that you will have from those un-stitched 3 inches on each side.

Sew the openings together on each side. You can use your sewing machine and stitch closely to the end of the fabric as shown above, or stitch the openings closed by hand.

Press your scarf with your iron and...

...enjoy!



{The fabric for the pink scarf is Annette Tatum's Boho Henna Pink and the fabric for the blue scarf is Valori Well's Bloom in Cobalt cotton voile.}
