It was a beautiful snowy morning. And I had declared it to be my 'craft day!' |
I love this top. A ton. But alas, it makes me look pregnant. And since I am now 50 years old, that is not a good thing. Ha! So I saved it for the fabric and today decided it'd be perfect for making a knit scarf. Bridgette of Ette Studios has a great tutorial which has been making the rounds on Pinterest. So I give her all the credit and thanks for her inspiration! You can see it HERE. |
Cutting the body of the top into strips. Stretching them out. And using the coordinating ties from the top to be my 'wraps.' |
Alternating the side seams so that when I wrap them, they are not all in a bunch. |
Using the wrap to hide the side seams, keep the strips together, and add a cute contrast. |
Now to wrap the other set of side seams. |
Pinned into place, making sure that the hand sewn side will be on the same side when the scarf is worn. |
Handsewing the ends of the wrap together and alittle bit to the scarf. |
Trying to take my photo in the bathroom mirror! |
The sweater I plan to mostly wear with the scarf. |
Oh and this sweater works too. I doubled the scarf up today and it looked cute. The picture isn't that great...but my 13 year old son was the photographer. :) So there! I have FINALLY made a T-shirt or knit top scarf!! Wanted to for months! Thanks for stopping by! Blessings! Donna Linked To: My Romantic Home |
