DIY: Circle Scarf

Happy Monday! I'm back with another diy and this week it's the circle scarf. This is a pretty easy tutorial you just have to make sure you have the right size fabric. I used a wild/safari looking print fabric that I was given for free when I attended the sewing conference last month. The fabric was about 2 1/2 yards and I cut off half a yard because I wanted my scarf to be 2 yards long. Here are the steps.

Supplies:
1 - 2 yards of lightweight knit fabric (the longer the fabric, the more you can do with it)
pins
scissors
sewing machine

Fold the fabric in half lengthwise right sides facing each other. Make sure the selvage edges are together and pin.
Sew a zig zag stitch about 1/2 inch away from the edge
You should now have a tube. Iron the seams flat. Turn the fabric inside out.
You can stop here if you want. Because most knits do not fray, you can wear your scarf as is.
Bring the bottom right side of the fabric to the top right side of the fabric. You should now have a half tube.
Sew the fabric together around the raw edges with a 1/2 inch seam allowance. Leave about an inch opening.
Pull the scarf through the opening to the right side of the fabric.
Hand stitch the opening closed using a slip stitch.

You can also check out a quick video tutorial by DIYRaven to get a better idea. There is also a cool diagram from American Apparel showing 10 ways you can wear a circle scarf.

This week the weather has been extremely hot! I mean is it Spring or Summer geez? Don't get me wrong, I prefer the warmer days but it's not so much fun if I can't enjoy it because I'm in a building for 8 hours and I can't go jump in a pool. Sigh.. Anyhoo, this what I wore on Monday. It was sweltering hot. The temperature was in the low 80s. This post's title is centered around this tee from Madewell. I love that there are stripes and polka dots together in one piece.

Going Green

In spirit of Saint Patty's Day, I like to share a few green items that I like and would love to own and wear. I'm working on getting the Dr. Marten's for summer. I may get a different color though since the green docs seem to be popular choice. I love stripes and you can never go wrong with stripes nor dots of any color.
