Spring! Finally!
But I have kind of liked the scarves I’ve been wearing all Winter.
So I needed some light weight Spring scarves. I looked around the shops but nothing took my fancy so instead I bought a couple of lengths of fabric from Spotlight and spent half an hour sewing.
What You Need:
- About half a metre of light weight fabric – chiffon or silk works well
- Sewing machine, thread, pins and scissors
Step 1:
Fold your fabric in half along the length of it with right sides together and pin.
Step 2:
Stitch across one end, down the long side and across the other short end, leaving about 5cm to turn through.
Optional: Stitch a second line of stitching using zig-zag to help stop fraying. I also trimmed the seam with pinking shears.
Step 3:
Turn through. Carefully pin the opening flat with the raw edges tucked in.
Step 4:
Stitch across the short ends about an eight of an inch from the edge to close the opening and give a neat finish.
I made a second one in a navy print, but I think I like the pale blue better.
Do you wear scarves? Do have a favourite way to tie them?

haha I was so thrown off when you said spring! 🙂
below the equator right? 🙂
we are just headed into fall here!
Love the scarf!
Thanks Kendra. Sorry to confuse you with Spring but yeah, its Spring here. These scarves would be perfect for Autumn too!
Love scarves whatever the season and your lightweight ones are perfect!!
Thanks, Raggy Girl Vintage. I’m thinking I need a couple more yet…
Tonya, I´m in love whith scarfs too, but I´m longing for spring too, so since I read your post…I´ve gone mad looking for a piece of silk o some similar fabric. I´m planning to follow your directions to make one on a pale pink and another in fucsia, (my favourite colors). And when I first saw the pic of your pale blue one I thought it was hand painted, so it has given me the idea to make one hand painted.What do you think?????
Thanks for the tuto, really usefull.
Love♥
