HINTS & TIPS PROJECT: IMPROVED (Making a long scarf)


To make the scarf pattern you have to trace around the scarf, onto proof paper. Using a pencil and 10 meters ruler.  

Afterwards cut out the pattern, then placed it onto any chosen material to make your scarf.
 

Then folding the material lenghtways, after the next stage will be to sew the material together on the left hand side.
  

To decorate the scarf, or say give it more style you have to make a loop, leaving two ends of fabric to accessorise.
 

Now, you can accessorise your scarf. I've sewn on a button in the middle.
 

I have decided to cover my scarf with jeans, to give the scarf a casual look. Firstly i roughly cut a piece of jeans to do that.
 

The next stage is i have decided to manuplate material onto my scarf, using the piece of jeans i did cut out. As seen in this picture i have sewn on the jeans underneath one of the flaps. 



The jeans sew onto my scarf looks tacky and unprofessional, in this case i decided to make ruffles instead with recycling materlal. The ruffles are sewn onto the scarf.
   

Before producing the ruffles you have to cut material at any length.




Sewing the ruffles onto the scarf.

Gather material while making the ruffle as shown.


The final scarf!
