Simple infinity scarf tutorial!

Easy Peasy Lemon Squeezy! 10 minute Scarf Tutorial!

Today I had one of those creative days and I came up with a way to make an infinity scarf in literally 10 minutes and I would like to share this with you, so today I am going to share a tutorial on how I made this scarf. If you know how to use a sewing machine you can make this scarf. It’s a great beginner project and only takes 10 minutes, yep you heard right ONLY 10 minutes to make (aka it’s a great naptime project). I made a bunch of these for Christmas gifts this year and they were a big hit. I plan on making a few more for myself just because they are so quick and easy to make & not to mention cute! They are the perfect accessory that goes from winter to summer. It looks just as good paired with a sweater or winter jacket as it does paired with a tank top, t-shirt or hoodie.

Materials you will need are:
1 yard of woven fabric
a sewing machine
about 10 minutes of free time

Step 1: Select your fabric. You will need 1 yard of fabric. This is my fabric:

Step 2: Fold your fabric in half lengthwise, or also known as hotdog style, with right sides together.(so that the pattern is on the inside). 

 Step 3: With your fabric folded in half you will now use a straight stitch and sew all the way down the long side of your fabric with raw edges. As you can see I left my selvage on the fabric but that is because I am sewing it far enough in that it will be hidden inside the scarf. Once you have finished with your long stretch of straight stitches, go to the edge and zig zag the edge all the way down as well. This will prevent unraveling :)

 Step 4: Once you have sewn down the side you will flip your fabric right side out so the right side (the pretty side) of your fabric is facing outward.

Step 5: Pick an end and fold it over as if you were going to hem it like a pair of pants

Step 6: Now that you have folded over your one end, you need to pin it so it stays in place.

Step 7: Now you are going to take the other end of your scarf and put about 2 to 3  inches of it

inside the other side that you just pinned as a hem.

Step 8: with your opposite end now put inside your hemmed end, you are going to take it to your machine and use a straight stitch to connect the two ends together on top of the fabric. Be careful not to let the sides slip under your foot.

Step 9: Once you have finished sewing that one straight stitch cut your string. You should end up with something that looks like this.

Finally and most importantly!!! wear your scarf with pride. Since this scarf is made with woven it doesn't stretch but you can definitely come up with some pretty cool folding designs! Congrats on your brand new scarf! I bet it looks great on you, especially since YOU made it :)
