Fabric Neck Scarf

Happy Tuesday everyone! What do you think of these fabric scarves? They have been a big hit for me. They are easy to wear, super versatile, and fit most styles. I love them. I have been using really light weight cottons so that I can wear them through the seasons and not just winter. I have kind of become obsessed with fabric. I search the internet daily looking for new prints. In other words...I need you all to buy 3 of these to support my habit! However, I'm about to tell you how to make these. Its EASY!

1. First just pick a fabric that you love. Think about the temperature you will be wearing it in. Also, the thicker the fabric the harder it is to get it to lay flat when wearing it so I definitly would not do any kind of home interior fabric for this one. I chose this pattern by Red Rooster called Yippie Daisies! Super cute, right?

2. I cut my fabric 45" long and 20" wide. You can change that up too if you'd like, but that looks the best in my opinion. If you make it too wide, once again it won't lay like it's supposed to. After cutting my strip of fabric I fold it long ways with the right sides facing each other (as below).

3. Once you have the fabric right sides together long ways, you will sew a straight line all the way down the legnth of the fabric. At this point the two ends are still open. After you've sewn your straight line, turn the fabric inside out so that you are looking at the right side (which has the print on it). Then, lay the fabric flat with the seam in the middle (as below).

4. After you've positioned the fabric so that the seam is in the middle, fold the fabric in half long ways so that the right sides are together. You can still see the print, but the sides with the seams should be on the outside and the smooth sides should be flat against each other. (as below)

5. Now you will just sew a straight line across the width of the fold so that it holds the two sides together. After my straight line, I go bag with a zig zag stitch to cover up the raw edges. You could also serge the raw edges for the same effect.

6. Ok...Dum dum dum.....flip it around and put it over your head with the seam behind your neck. You've got a very easy, and totally fashionable fabric scarve. I prefer these to the open ended ones because you don't have to figure out how to hang it on your neck and have hanging ends and what not. Once it's on, there is no need for adjusting or re-wrapping! Hope you enjoy! Now go! Make me proud. :)
