Pinterest Project: DIY Infinity Scarf
December 3, 2012
The other day, I was on Pinterest, and I saw a lace and t-shirt infinity scarf. When I clicked on the picture, it took me to a website that was selling the scarf. It always makes me angry when I think something is going to be a do-it-yourself tutorial, and it ends up being something you have to buy.
So, I thought to myself, “This can’t be that hard,” and I decided to try it. It turned out just how I wanted, so I thought I would create my own little tutorial for it.
This should help you make a cute infinity scarf that’s cheap and great to give as a gift come this holiday season.
Materials:
- Old T-Shirt
- Lace (can be purchased at fabric stores or Hobby Lobby)
- Sewing Machine
- Scissors/ Fabric Shears
Instructions:
- Lay t-shirt flat on the ground.
- Cut a straight line from underneath one sleeve to the other.
- Take your lace and measure the width.
- Cut the t-shirt horizontally; make sure it’s the same width as the lace.
- Now, cut one of the side seams open on the t-shirt.
- After that, cut your lace 2/3 the length of your t-shirt piece.
- Now, line up the shorter edge of both pieces and sew a straight stitch; make sure to back-stitch at the beginning and end.
- Do the same on the other side.
