Yesterday I was out shopping and my friend Caitlin spotted these "Twist Scarves" at American Apparel. She fell in love. Super simple, super cute, super ridiculously priced. $15 for some fabric with a piece of wire inside of it. So, naturally, I said "Hey! I can make that!"
And I did!
Seriously, this only took about 10 minutes to make. I think I'm going to make a ton of them because they're OH-SO-ADORABLE and make great gifts, too!
Supplies
Fabric - 36" x 8"
Plastic Coated Steel Wire - 18 Gage - 36" piece (plastic coated is a MUST, otherwise the wire will poke through your fabric)
Sewing machine (you could hand stitch, too.. it'll just take a long long time)
Your fabric should be 4 inches wide when folded in half. I cut a slant on each end, 4" long, 4" tall and gave it an arrow shape.
Sew inside-out, leaving one end up. Turn inside-out to get the pattern on the outside and slide your wire inside (36"). Sew up the end with the machine.
AND VOILA! See how ridiculously easy that was?
I will most likely have one of these scarves to go with every single outfit now. Enjoy and have a wonderful wonderful week! We <3 you!

Where did you find the wire? Is this in the jewelry section? hardware? maybe even floral?

ReplyDeleteVisiting from the TT&J linky party~ This is very cute! Thanks for sharing your step-by-step process! I don't have a sewing machine and I tend to get bored (or frustrated, mostly) sewing by hand I think I will try this out using fusible webbing (if that's the right stuff...?)
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kelly ^ Love the shirt :) Have a super week!
