My Go-To Infinity Scarf Pattern

For this particular pattern I really try to get fabric from the clearance section at Joann Fabrics. You can sometimes manage to make a beautiful scarf for as little as $3.00! So, my advice to you, is ALWAYS check clearance first. ALWAYS. Shall we get started?

The pictures below are in the step-by- step formation. The last one is my preferred dimensions for this scarf - I like the big bulky ones. Go big or go home, right?

Materials:
1 yard of lacy fabric (or fabric of your choice)
Sewing machine
Matching thread and bobbin
Scissors

Directions:

Grab your lace fabric and lay it on a cutting surface. Fold it whichever way is more square. The wider the scarf, the nicer it will lay. The short edges, parallel to each other, are the ones that need hemmed.

Fold your hem over 1/2 inch and press, and then fold it over another 1/2 inch and press. Repeat on opposite side.

Sew with your needle to the far left and your presser foot as a guide, making sure to catch the hem. 

Press to ensure a finished look.

Fold the fabric in half, wrong sides together, and pin the side with raw edges together. This is where we'll begin our French seam.

Sew with the needle to the far left and your presser foot as a guide (about a 1/4").

Trim that down about an 1/8 of an inch, making sure to not snip the seam. Turn the fabric inside out and sew down that same edge again, making sure to catch the seam you had previously sewn... and ta-da! A French seam! (A.K.A. no raw edges... And who doesn't like that?)

You have now officially made a beautiful infinity scarf :) Where will you wear yours?

Welcome to My World...

Welcome! First things first: you should know that I love style more than anything in the world. This past winter, I've discovered a vast love for making things on my own. I've always loved to crochet, but I have yet to make any clothing by that particular trait. I'm more of an afghan, scarf, and hat kind of crochet girl.

During the multiple snow days I endured last year, I decided to break out my old sewing machine. Since then, I have made skirts, shirts, quilts, and whatever else I can get my hands on.

Earlier I mentioned my love for style. I tell you this because that's why I started making my own stuff. There is something to be desired about adding something to your wardrobe or house... and it's even better if it's something you've made yourself. Plus, there's that whole "I can't spend tons of money shopping all the time," thing.

So, without further ado, I decided to share what I make with you guys! If you follow me on instagram, you've seen what I've made but I haven't shown you how I did it. If you're curious, this would be the place to look! I will either have my own instructions, or, I will give you a link to the website I found the instructions at.

I'm so excited to be doing this blog and I hope that you find it useful in whatever DIY you're working on.
